Note: HTTP does not officially define a meaning of the login field in the 
http:// URL. But you are correct that if this field is to have a meaning 
it is authentication to the requested server, not proxies.

Squid understands the standard login URL syntax for http:// URLs as well 
and will automatically use this for Basic HTTP authentication to the 
requested web server to make some use of the data.
