[squid-users] NCSA Auth doesn't recognize usernames with capital letters

Hello,

I'm facing a really weird problem at the moment.
I'm using Squid 4.2 using the default Ubuntu compile options
(self-compiled) together with the NCSA Basic Auth helper and a passwd
file generated using "httpasswd -m".

If I add a user to it that starts with a capital letter (for example
"Bob") the auth always fails - until "Bob" becomes "bob" inside the
file, then the auth instantly works... and also for "Bob" since I use an
ACL like:

acl bob proxy_auth_regex -i bob

But the other way around is a no-go.

Did I miss something here?

Cheers,
Pierre
