How does http://squid.sourceforge.net/auth_rewrite look.

I really want kerberos to see if it will go seamless... however the only kerberos doco I've found so far (when I asked on the list I
got a very good response, with one problem) is for TLS not straight http. It may be a reverse engineering task - which I don't
really have time for at the moment.

Cool.

It's not been stress tested yet - we're still getting reports of (mostly cosmetic) issues from the early adopters. Personally the
patch for NTLM to auth_rewrite is so small I see little reason to merge it until it sees a bit more beta testing. Not that I object
to it going in :-]).
