Sorry my bad.
So After doing all the above configuration. The browser does not block
the websites in the blocklist.
Browser does prompt for user credentials just like the squid.conf is
configured to do, but it is not blocking websites.

However, when I execute c-icap-client from command line it blocks the
blocklisted websites.
To check with c-icap-client I have used the below command:
`c-icap-client -s url_check -x "X-Authenticated-User: dXNlcjE=" -req
"https://www.facebook.com/" -v`

So if the blocking from c-icap client is working but blocking from
browser is not working then
something must be wrong with my squid.conf or the configuration part
responsible for making c-icap and squid work together, right?

So what could be it? Please let me know if any other piece of
information is required, I am not sure what else could be of use.

Thanks
