[squid-users] Forwarding login and password from a 2.4 proxy to a 2.5 proxy

[Carinus Carelse]

I have installed the new version of squid 2.5 but i would like to test 
it under load and I want to use the cache_peer to forward all requests 
to the new proxy for a few days just to test everything. I would like it 
to just forward the login credentials to the new proxy what is the 
equivalent to login=PASS in the 2.4 version.   My old proxy is a 2.4 
version.  I have the forwarding working the other way.  From 2.5 to a 
2.4 proxy.  I would now like to make it work the other way I have tried 
various permutations of the command below including login=PASS at the 
end of the line can some please help me by telling me the right way to 
do this. It just keeps popping up the login box. 

Squid Cache: Version 2.4.STABLE7

cache_peer parent.domain.com   parent  3128 3130 no-query default 
login=user:password.
