squid 2.6STABLE1 strips authentication headers

Hello list,

I wonder if it is a proper behavior of the squid to strip authentication
headers, then it configured as accelerating proxy? I noticed this
after upgrading squid from 2.5STABLE14 to 2.6STABLE1.

Here what is send to squid:

GET /adm/ HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: Wget/1.8.2
Host: ctsv.engec.ru
Accept: */*
Connection: Keep-Alive
Authorization: Basic YW50b246MTIzMTIz

Here waht squid sends to web server:

GET /adm/ HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: Wget/1.8.2
Host: ctsv.engec.ru
Accept: */*
Via: 1.0 himbeer1.engec.ru:80 (squid)
X-Forwarded-For: 85.142.33.28
Cache-Control: max-age=259200

Essential configuration from squid.conf:

http_port 85.142.33.28:80 vhost defaultsite=himbeer.engec.ru
cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 80 0 originserver

If it a new behavor, it probably need to be documented, since it break
many things for a lot of people.

Software: squid-2.6.STABLE1-20060711

Compilation options:

$ ./configure --bindir=/usr/local/sbin
--sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/squid --datadir=/usr/local/etc/squid
--libexecdir=/usr/local/libexec/squid --localstated
ir=/usr/local/squid --enable-removal-policies=lru heap
--enable-storeio=aufs ufs diskd null --disable-wccp
--prefix=/usr/local --with-pthreads --enable-epoll
