RE: [squid-users] time based Instant Message blocking

Hi,

What would that look like in a squid.conf file?
Right now, I have the following order of acl operator lines:
----------------------------------------------------------
acl student proxy_auth REQUIRED

# allow unrestricted access to admins & staff
http_access allow restrict-im admin-mc
http_access allow restrict-im staff-mc

# time restricted access for students
http_access allow holiday-time restrict-im localnet
http_access allow morning-time restrict-im localnet
http_access allow night-time restrict-im localnet
http_access allow student localnet
....
----------------------------------------------------------
Am I missing something here?

I'm using the latest 5.6 version.
It supports SOCKS5 authentication, but not for HTTP proxy.
