Use squid to perform upstream web proxy authentication

One more note I just discovered.

If you're not running a local firewall and want to prevent others from using your local proxy, you can change the "http_access allow all" line to "http_access allow localhost"

This works with Chimera/Camino, and probably Mozilla/Netscape, and will deny anyone trying to proxy through your system. It will NOT work with Internet Explorer, which appears to not make a loopback connection to localhost. I had to change it back to all to get IE to work (which I unfortunately must use to get reasonable Flash performance so my daughter can maintain her Elmosworld.com addiction.
