The tricky part is how your authentication page is to tell Squid that
the user is now authenticated. This needs to be done by means outside of
HTTP, as there is no room in HTTP where you can add this information.

For accelerators cookies can be used for the purpose, making the
solution relatively simple (and contained within HTTP). Proxies are a
entirely different story however as there is no such thing as a "proxy
cookie".
