[squid-users] Passthrough authentication

Hi,

I have the following situation:

[squid1] - [proxy2] ...

squid1 handles Ident authorization, web access, Basic auth etc..
It has an upstream proxy to ''proxy2''.

What I need is a username (thus, basicauth username or identusername) in proxy2'.

Is there a way to pass this login information from squid1 to proxy2?
I need only the Basic-auth login name or the ident-username.

After some google search i found that basic-auth can work with upstream-proxy loginforwarding, but it can't with ident usernames because the http request struct nothing knows about the client-connection?.

I use both in my setup. Is there a way to get Ident Auth too?

Or, if it can't. Where do i need to patch Squid to send an extra header with username to proxy2? so i can develop myself...

Any tips are welcome.
