Yes - exactly. > Hrm.. Squid has the ability > to have certain portions of itself scripted out to do interesting > things. Possibly this could be implemented even as a shell script? Will > hafta look.. :) For this to work, fcpget will have to be updated to handle splitfiles. Presently, only fcpproxy does splitfiles (thanks to Nagano). My advice would be to study the freenet hacks in Junkbusters, and apply similar hacks to Squid at C code level. Don't try to script it out. But if you're determined to script it, then you might want to hack fcpget and apply Nagano's splitfiles code to it. Or maybe I'll get around to it sometime.
