in www/squid as of 2012/11/26 plus a REVISION bump. The newer version works well in most cases, but is less portable and seems to have problems with certain configurations. ok ajacoutot.

Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for web clients,
|
|
supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional caching
|
|
software, Squid handles all requests in a single, non-blocking, I/O-driven
|
|
process.
|
|
|
|
Squid keeps meta data and especially hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS
|
|
lookups, supports non-blocking DNS lookups, and implements negative
|
|
caching of failed requests.
|
|
|
|
Squid supports SSL, extensive access controls, and full request logging.
|
|
By using the lightweight Internet Cache Protocol, Squid caches can be
|
|
arranged in a hierarchy or mesh for additional bandwidth savings.
|
|
|
|
Flavors:
|
|
ldap - Support for LDAP
|
|
ntlm - Support for NTLM
|
|
snmp - Support for SNMP
