Hello,

I'm looking for a simple HTTP+FTP proxy that supports upstream authentication.

The reason is that we (that is, my employer) have a server that requires Internet access for its setup, but for some reason* my employer does not want to give the contractors a login for the corporate proxy.

I'm planning of setting up a simple proxy to authenticate against the corporate proxy using one of my credentials, and have the contractor use this simple proxy instead of the corporate one.

I think Squid can do that... but is there a simpler solution? I truly don't need caching, inter-proxy coordination, or other exotic stuff. Just a way to allow other people to authenticate against the corporate proxy using my credentials, but without giving my credentials away.

(Of course the simple proxy will be installed on a totally separate system, one under my full control and nobody else's)

Rgds,
