This is merged from work by myself and Matthias Pitzl @ genua, thanks to Rodolfo Gouveia for testing with NTLM. Flavours have been removed: - the external helper programs for NTLM/LDAP are now in subpackages: squid-ldap and squid-ntlm. - SNMP support is built by default in Squid 3.x so this has moved to the main package (no external dependencies for this).

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.
