Would the access controls you are talking of include using the "external_acl_type"? (http://squid.sourceforge.net/external_acl)

I've toyed with the idea of using a script in an external acl which would consider URLs using squidGuard and provide ERR/OK based on that, with a combination of the "auth_param basic" and its associated ACL with poor results.

Thanks,
Peter

I'm thinking of tearing up Squid 2.5.STABLE4 code to get this to work. Probably alter the basic authentication code: if the user is
authenticated to the "NOBLOCK" group, then do not use the redirector
(squidGuard.); if the user is not authenticated, then route traffic to
the redirector; if the redirector indeed redirects it then process the
authentication; if the user authenticates correctly then go back to the
top and let them through; if the user fails authentication send them to
the redirected page.



Use Squid access controls instead of SquidGuard and you get this capability to selectively request authenticatoin for free.
