Capturing User info with Squid

    Hi all, a bit of a strange query here.

    I've got squid up and running successfully and it also require a login/password from each user so i can track usage.

    I installed this anti-virus remote-update feature from my college which sends a HTTP Username / Password to the college server to access the anti virus updates (Sophos). So it has two sets of username/passwords: the proxy one and the web one.

    The configuration panel for the app had the data pre-inserted for the web username and password. It's stored encrypted in the config file on the windows machine which is no use. I want to get at it so i can auto-update my linux servers anti-virus with installation packages for linux which i know to be on the college server.

    Seen as squid must see the request, is there any way to grab the username and password as I suspect they're probably using basic auth (and it's not an SSL connection either?)
