I am playing with Squid to enalbe it to cache password protected pages.
Is this posible?
Partly.
You can have the web server set "Cache-Control: public" telling the cache that even thou there was login credentials in the request the returned response does not really require a password and may be cached.
You can also tweak the Squid sources to assume this. IIRC there is a patch in bugzilla (or maybe it's on devel.squid-cache.org) for adding refresh_pattern options to control this.
But be warned that this effectively removes the password protection from the pages.
