Yes. What you are seeing is most likely an intentional feature of Squid. If a request is denied by an proxy_auth type acl then Squid will request the user to authenticate with a new username+password. The browser only shows the returned error page if the user cancels the authentication request. Example where this will happen acl somegroup proxy_auth user1 user2 user3 http_access deny somesites somegroup If you do not want this to happen then you need to deny the request by another type of acl. In some cases this can be done as simple as just writing the acls in another order http_access deny somegroup somesites in other you may need to use a dummy "all" type acl (if you need to combine this with detailed deny_info, then create multiple such acls, one per deny_info message) http_access deny somesites somegroup all Regards Henrik -- Donations welcome if you consider my Free Squid support helpful. https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=hno%40squid-cache.org If you need commercial Squid support or cost effective Squid or firewall appliances please refer to MARA Systems AB, Sweden http://www.marasystems.com/, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
