We use Squid 2.4.6 Stable with smb_auth on Debian Woody as our proxy. The
Clients  run Windows 9x to 2k. While using IE with its own JVM you authenticate
to the proxy and alle the Java stuff works.
While using Mozilla or Phoenix with the SUN JVM 1.4.1 you authenticate to the
proxy. If you hit a site with Java applets, you need to authenticate a 2nd time
for the JVM. After this you can go to any site containing applets without having
to authenticate again. It is only a small issue but i guess our users won't
understand why they have to authenticate twice. ;-)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Works only if proxy with smb_auth is used
1. Start Mozilla
2. Enter a URL, authenticate to the proxy
3. hit a site containing Java applets
4. authenticate a 2nd time for the JVM


Expected Results:  
Should only ask once for authentication.
