Squid-2.5 URL encodes the login and password to be able to deal with complex passwords. Beacuse of this any auth helpers used with Squid-2.5 or later should be designed for use with Squid-2.5 and later (needs to URL-decode the login and password fields). http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.5/RELEASENOTES.html
Squid-2.4 sends them as is, which causes troubles between Squid and the helper on certain complex login names or passwords.
