[squid-users] Logging username with upstream authenticated proxy

I currently have Squid & Dansguardian setup.� Squid is setup as a downstream to our governing organizations proxy which requires authentication.

This setup has been working quite well for some time now, but I've recently written a redirect script for squid which requires IP and Username information from Squid.

It appears from reading the logs that all I can expect from squid is the address of the Dansguardian box.� Now I've read through a lot of mailing lists on the subject and have discovered that the only way to get around this is put another squid box before the Dansguardian box.�

I've since tried this but have had two major problems

1. The username doesn't come up in my access.log and isn't available in my redirect script in the first Squid box.� Now I know that the information is available since it comes up in Dansguardian's logs.

2. Web addresses that contain variables don't come through - but work fine if I redirect the browser to the Dansguardian server

My squid boxes have the following cache_peer directives

- This is the box after Dansguardian (contecting to out upstream - which requires authentication) cache_peer����� x.x.x.x����� parent 3128 0 no-query default login=PASS

- This is the box before Dansguardian
cache_peer����� x.x.x.x����� parent 8080 0 proxy-only no-query default login=PASS

Thanks in advance
