What you can do is to allow access to the required sites used by these
programs without requiring authentication by inserting something like
the following
acl my_networks src ....
acl noauth_sites dstdomain "/path/to/file/listing/allowed/domains.txt"
http_access allow my_networks noauth_sites
before where you require authentication in your http_access rules.
