+<p>The new <em>key_extras</em> parameter allows sending of additional
+  details to the authentication helper beyond the minimum required for
+  the HTTP authentication. This is primarily intended to allow switching
+  of authentication databases based on criteria such as client IP subnet,
+  Squid receiving port, or in reverse-proxy the requested domain name.
+
+<p>In theory any <em>logformat</em> code may be used, however only the
+  codes which have available details at the time of authentication
+  will send any meaningful detail.
