around here on the users list..

Looking at the code there is an X-Client-Username header in the Squid-3
ICAP client, enabled by the icap_send_client_username config directive.

Don't think Squid-3 implenents this (yet).

Hmm.. probably the code is a bit confused then..

Get the code fixed I suppose.
