Let`s assume that current client has to be authenticated
according to acl. The current client has already sent his
username/password to the squid.

So, browser caches username/password pair? Then, how long
 does browser cache it? May be, until it is restarted?

And does squid checks up username/password pair every time the
browser sends it. Or, may be, squid caches the client`s ip,
and if the current http-request is from stored ip, then squid
passes request without any authentication?
