[squid-users] Re: password problem with squid-2.4Stable7 and 2.5STABLE3

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).

Squid-2.4 sends them as is, which causes troubles between Squid and the
helper on certain complex login names or passwords.

Henrik

If a user has a rather "complex" passwords e.g. beginning with # character squid encodes those characters (as far as I can tell off by using strace). As I'm not a real programmer but would like to change that conversion back to a "real" character within squid_rad_auth could you tell me how to do that?
