I'm implementing a web proxy in an UNIX system and I need to know the uid        
of the client process who is connected to my proxy. HTTP authenfication    
mecanism is not a good solution because is designed to authentificate a user
with a server, not a proxy.
Another solution is the port 113 daemon defined in RFC 931 (used by NCSA     
1.5 server) but many computers doesn't run this daemon.
 
Is there any other solution?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Maria Jose.
