No, you should be getting the value from the user=X kv-pair produced by
the helper on every request. The bug fixed by Nathan was that only the
first was and the rest wrongly got "-".

If you are getting it on absolutely all requests it would seem the
helper is not producing user=X.

Or possibly ICAP is stripping it away again by creating a new "adapted"
request. If that is the case use the external_acl_type helper in the
adapted_http_access checks instead of http_access.
