[squid-users] R: [squid-users] Squid 2.5Stable12, basic authentication and strange character

 
Hello,

I noticed and upgraded my squid to the 2.5.STABLE12 but it does not work! If
i use the 2.4.STABLE13 version it works fine!

Cheers!

 Check the 2.5 release notes :

 1. Key changes from squid 2.4:

    Login and password send to Basic auth helpers is now URL escaped to
