Do you have authentication by user or restrictions by IP?

You can allow access to that URL using acls, but the order of the acls matter in the configuration.

I need your squid.conf to indicate where to put the acl.

The ACL could be something like this:

acl allowed_site dstdomain specific.domain.com
http_access allow allowed_site

You have to setup acl(s) and http_access method to control this.

Use url_regex or urlpath_regex acl to match url's and control with http_access method.

Post the url name and access control lists with http_access method to help you correctly.

You can restrict sites and you can restrict and allow some users throuh acl

acl allowed_site dstdomain specific.domain.com
http_access allow allowed_site
you need to authonticate user to allow download from web.

Hi
for a specific user access you will first need to make squid use an auth type...else just use the IP address to restrict and allow the user...but the catch here will be that if some other user logs on the box that has access allowed he will be able to browse.
