files were repository copied to www/squid11, then this commit brings it
to 1.1.b13. (This was Satoshi's idea :-) It preserves the history)
Squid-1.0 and 1.1 are under parallel development, kinda like when we had
2.1-stable and 2.2-current in parallel development. The 1.0 code is well
polished, and 1.1 is "on the bleeding edge" as such. The features and
performance are much improved, but it can be a bit hair-raising. I
personally have no major hassles with 1.1beta13.
Among the nicer things that this version has over 1.0:
- URL redirector.. ie: you can rewrite url's of sites with "mirrors"
so that you don't have 15 copies of the same files.
- optional ident logging
- improved acl's
- dramatically improved cache directory structure (scales much better with
gigantic disk caches)
- much improved DNS ttl handling (esp. with resolver hack)
- more control over neighbor status; parent, sibling etc.
- much improved refresh rules to help combat stupid sites that needlessly
set the Expires: field to zero when it doesn't need to be. (This is fine
when it's genuinely needed, but some sites really abuse it to to attempt
to negate caching to get inflated hit counts etc)

This port installs in a "FreeBSD-native" tree (like apache) rather than
with a mini hierarchy under /usr/local/squid/{bin,etc,cache,logs,...}
(the default behavior seems to have changed between 1.0.0 and 1.0.20)
Also, build a rc.d/squid.sh script.
It is impossible to suppress initial HTML preamble for directories, i.e.
<HEAD><TITLE>Index of dir</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>
It means that it is impossible to change <TITLE> or add any
<META HTTP-EQUIV...> tags to <HEAD> section or change <BODY>
attributes without HTML syntax violation (.asis, cern_meta, etc.
not helps here too).
Fix:
I add "SuppressHTMLPreamble" option to "IndexOptions". When this option
is set _and_ HEADER.html (or what you set as it) is present and readable,
standard <HEAD><TITLE>Index of dir</TITLE></HEAD><BODY> preamble
will be suppressed assuming you have right HTML preamble in your
HEADER.html. It solves all problems mentioned above.
all the COMMENTs! No package names, no version numbers, no "this is
absolutix-3.1.2" type comments that have zero information contents.
Now, without any bad examples to follow, nobody has an excuse to import
a port with those kind of comments. :)
Phew! 238 ports modified!
