squid-2.3.stable4-accel_only_access.patch
clientAccessCheck incorrectly returns ACCESS_ALLOWED for proxy requests
when configured as an HTTP accelerator only
squid-2.3.stable4-html_quoting.patch
Everywhere where Squid inserts text received from the network into a HTML
page (error pages, FTP listings, Gopher listings, ...) care must be taken
to ensure that the text is properly encoded as HTML, or a malicious user
might be able to insert script code or other HTML tags, and exploit the
web browser of any user visiting their page or clicking on that funny link
received in a email..

MHonArc is a Perl mail-to-HTML converter. MHonArc provides HTML
mail archiving with index, mail thread linking, etc; plus other
capabilities including support for MIME and powerful user customization
features.

HTML::Base is an expansion module for Perl 5 which provides
an object-oriented way to build pages of HTML. Its purpose
is to create HTML tags at the lowest level of functionality,
that is to say, it creates HTML and doesn't do much else.
Specifically, it does not provide any CGI-like services
(see the CGI modules for that!).
Currently, the module supports all of the HTML 2.0 tags,
plus some selected tags from HTML 3.0, and some Netscape-isms.

Libwww-perl is a collection of Perl modules which provides a simple
and consistent application programming interface (API) to the
World-Wide Web.
The main focus of the library is to provide classes and functions
that allow you to write WWW clients, thus libwww-perl said to be a
WWW client library. The library also contain modules that are of
more general use and even classes that help you implement simple
HTTP servers.
guess what, ok'ed by brad@ !

This is a collection of modules that parse and extract information
from HTML documents. Bug reports and discussions about these modules
can be sent to the <libwww@perl.org> mailing list. Remember to
also look at the HTML-Tree package that creates and extracts
information from HTML syntax trees.
The modules present in this collection are:
HTML::Parser - The parser base class. It receives arbitrary sized
chunks of the HTML text, recognizes markup elements, and
separates them from the plain text. As different kinds of
markup and text are recognized, the corresponding event
handlers are invoked.
HTML::Entities - Provides functions to encode and decode text
with embedded HTML >entities>.
HTML::HeadParser - A lightweight HTML::Parser subclass that
extractsinformation from the <HEAD> section of an HTML document.
HTML::LinkExtor - An HTML::Parser subclass that extracts links
from an HTML document.
HTML::TokeParser - An alternative interface to the basic parser
that does not require event driven programming. Most simple
parsing needs are probably best attacked with this module.

This package contains the URI.pm module with friends. The module
implements the URI class. Objects of this class represent Uniform
Resource Identifier (URI) references as specified in RFC 2396.
URI objects can be used to access and manipulate the various
components that make up these strings. There are also methods to
combine URIs in various ways.
The URI class replaces the URI::URL class that used to be distributed
with libwww-perl. This package contains an emulation of the old
URI::URL interface. The emulated URI::URL implements both the old
and the new interface.

http_load runs multiple http/https fetches in parallel, to test the
throughput of a web server. However unlike most such test clients,
it runs in a single process, so it doesn't bog down the client
machine.
You give it a file containing a list of URLs that may be fetched,
a flag specifying how to start connections (either by rate or by
number of simulated users), and a flag specifying when to quit
(either after a given number of fetches or a given elapsed time).
There are also optional flags for checksums, throttling, and progress
reports.
Do the extract and installation ourselves, as the script is not really
needed. This avoids copying the archive around several times.
Provide a better shell-wrapper.
Fix dependencies.
Fake.

These modules are supposed to be used with the Apache server together with
an embedded Perl interpreter like mod_perl. They provide support for basic
authentication and authorization as well as support for persistent
database connections via Perl's Database Independent Interface (DBI).
o AuthDBI.pm provides authentication and authorization:
- optional shared cache for passwords to minimize database load
- configurable cleanup-handler deletes outdated entries from the cache
o DBI.pm provides persistent database connections:
- connections can be established during server-startup
- configurable rollback to ensure data integrity
- configurable verification of the connections to avoid time-outs.

Tested on i386 (by Pavel), SPARC (by me). Needs testing on m68k-based
systems.

The Apache/Perl integration project brings together the full power of the
Perl programming language and the Apache HTTP server. This is achieved by
linking the Perl runtime library into the server and providing an object
oriented Perl interface to the server's C language API.
These pieces are seamlessly glued together by the `mod_perl' server
plugin, making it is possible to write Apache modules entirely in Perl.
In addition, the persistent interpreter embedded in the server avoids the
overhead of starting an external interpreter program and the additional
Perl start-up (compile) time.
- remove the SunOS binary, unfortunately Netscape has dropped support for
SunOS and this old binary has quite a few security issues. I don't see it
fit to be included in the tree anymore at any cost.
squid-2.3.stable4-ipfw_configure.patch
The configure script uses "==" when it should use "=" for /bin/test
squid-2.3.stable4-invalid_ip_acl_entry.patch
The code that scans ACL tokens for IP addresses and hostnames couldn't
tell that "123.foo.com" is a hostname rather than an IP address
config directory that has to be removed
- change a whole bunch of vars in INSTALL from ${FOO} to $FOO so they do
not get substituded and have the substitution occur only once at the top
of the INSTALL script
