I've found squid rather cumbersome to setup, particularly for a one-time use like this. Maybe look at polipo (it is also in the debian apt repositories.) http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/polipo.html#Access-control Or maybe: http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/BOOK/HTTP-Proxy-0.24/eg/proxy-auth.pl (Wherein "here's an ID and password" is in the comments on line 8.) --Eric -- Speak softly and carry a big carrot. --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------
