what is the purpose of the script?
if you can give me more details i can try to help you with it.

i was using some ruby scripts for url rewriting and it worked quite fast.
and the program is quite simple:
Read info from input method(aka user input\keyboard)
split the input
check each part of the input to match credentials
and by the result of the match send to the user(aka terminal\squid) OK
or ERR in a case of good or bad match.

it took me awhile to understand the url rewriting way of work but both
of them are has the same idea.

if you do want to see other stuff you can look at the "basic_db_auth"
script supplied with squid.
it meant for mysql authentication so it will take input from the
user(terminal\squid) and will return OK or ERR.
quiet simple

Eliezer
