Interception 'transparent' mode ports do not even attempt to perform
authentication. Though with most javascript methods HTTP authentication is
not involved anyway.

Making sure the interception and direct-proxy listening ports are
different should fix it for most users. If the code itself is failing on a
side-band authentication there is nothing you can do to fix it in squid.
Only the sites webmaster can fix those.
