[squid-users] NTLM Authentication

Background:

   (1) Users at one office access an internal web server through a Squid
        proxy server.
   (2) The internal web server is "publicly" accessible except for a set
        of directories containing financial data.
   (3) For an older set of financial reports, there were instructions on
        how to present your authentication credentials indicating the web
        server was configured to use basic authentication, i.e. the user
        ID was given as WINSdomain\username.
   (4) A new set of reports was recently added to the web server but
        cannot be accessed through the Squid proxy.
   (5) The login screen presented to the user looks like the standard
        screen used for basic authentication.

Questions:

   (1) When a web server uses NTLM authentication, will a login screen
        be presented when the web site is accessed via a Squid proxy?
        (My recollection from years ago was that the login screen was
        only displayed when basic authentication was enabled?)
   (2) The web server was recently switched from a WindowsNT to an
        Active Directory domain. What is the syntax for a user login
        ID when basic authentication is used?
   (3) Is there a convenient way of specifying to the user that they
        should bypass the proxy for a subset of the web content?
