RE: [squid-users] https, ntlm and cache_peer

Hello again.

My need is quite different :

Client ==(1)==> internal_squid (NTLM) ==(2)==> external_squid ====> internet

The authentication is performed on the first squid server ; then this server
"forwards" the requests to the second one.
Its works fine for http traffic, but not https.

I've configured my 'internal proxy' to force SSL requests through its parent
(external_proxy), as described in the FAQ �19.2 : that is ok if no ntlm
authentication is required, but this traffic is stopped (denied error message
in access.log) if nltm authentication is required.

Anyone has met this problem ?

But still not woserver,
