Hi,

squid_wccp_and_gopher_flaws.nasl

This test currently looks at services discovered as 'http_proxy'. I just
hit a false negative where the proxy service was discovered as 'www'.
I'd suggest modifying the plugin to check both kinds of discovered
service, but I'm not quite sure how to do this.

Any suggestions?

IMHO, we'd rather fix the service detection plugins.
