Found it from your post on squid-users.

Most except for the "dependent (tristate)" mode seems like relevant bug 
fixes to the existing offline_mode.

The "dependent" mode is redundand as the offline mode can easily be turned 
on/off with a signal, and in addition way to OS dependent.

Re: Content Filtering

Sequence of Events:

Problem with this approach is that Squid does not work in this manner. It 
immediately sends the HTTP reply to the client as it is received. It does 
not wait for the entire reply to be available before starting to forward 
to the client.

I would recommend you to look into using ICAP for your filtering needs. 
The ICAP framework is a future safe approach in how to plug in filtering 
and other advanced content manipulations to an http proxy such as Squid. 
There is not yet official ICAP support for Squid but there is two 
different implementations for Squid-2.5 available from the developer web 
site .

On the same web site you can also find an earlier filter implementation 
using dynamically loaded modules, perhaps quite similar to what you are 
looking into doing. This is however quite limited by the internals of 
Squid, unlike the ICAP approach mentioned above.

Note: Squid is GPL and as a result you are only allowed to use GPL modules 
with Squid. If your filter implementation is not GPL then dynamic linking 
is not an option.

Hot topic, but much missing in Squid..
In my opinion the proper method to do content filtering in an HTTP proxy 
is via the ICAP protocol. There is two different ICAP client 
implementations for Squid-2.5 allowing it to relay content to an ICAP 
server for filtering/alteration, but as of yet no attempts in implementing 
an ICAP client for Squid-3.

Can not remember seeing this in your bugzilla entries. Have this been

- win32.cc: Missing test if we are running as a Windows service in 
WIN32_Exit() - This affects Cygwin and native Windows ports.
Done.
- store_dir_coss.cc: As in other fs modules, in storeCossDirCloseTmpSwapLog() 
the unlink() call is no more needed because xrename() on Windows and OS/2 try 
to delete the target file - This affects OS/2 and all Windows ports.
Done.

Introduction and updating squid-tristate-offline-patch

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Dear all,

A quick intro:

We are a small Linux company in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK. We are on the
commerical support list.

I write for FedoraNEWS.ORG (http://FedoraNEWS.ORG/ghenry)

We are interested in getting the tristate patch working again for the
latest stable release.

One of our clients does a lot of work with schools and they require this
feature, but are having problems with it. We are working with the original
author to update it.

We have asked to keep it GPL and get it into the main release.

Is anyone interested in this?

Thanks,

Gavin.
