Re: Introducing myself

Hi Alex,

 Do you plan on migrating to the eCAP interface? It would help you to
 avoid maintaining a parallel and duplicate code infrastructure for your
 filters. In fact, your generally useful adaptation modules can be
 distributed with Squid if they conform to the supported interfaces. This
 will further decrease your maintenance overheads and increase your
 company exposure.

Currently there is no plan to migrate to the new interface. We might do so if 
we get a new customer, but at the moment we have an installation in 
maintainance-mode, and there is no time for larger migrations.

But as I said, this is  due to the circumstances - as soon as we have the time 
(and the paying customers ;) ) it is likely that we would migrate.

 P.S. Please do not forget to send a list subscription request if you
 have not already.

Yes, I did so like it was suggested on the project page :)

Regards,

Roland

Introducing myself

[Roland Wolters]

Hi there,

I would like to be able to discuss some issues of the squid source code and 
would therefore like to be subscribed to your list. Following the rules on

http://www.squid-cache.org/Support/mailing-lists.dyn#squid-dev

I give you a short introduction of the reason and my person:

I'm working for the German company credativ GmbH which offers support contracts 
for various kinds of Open Source software. Among our customers we have quite 
some people who are using squid. One special case is a customer who uses squid 
together with the content filter extension explained here [*]:
http://sites.inka.de/~bigred/devel/squid-filter.html

The problem is however that, while being generally pleased with that filte,r 
the customer has rare situations where squid has problems, and I'm working on 
fixing these bugs. Naturally, while going through the source code of squid the 
one or other question arises and I would like to ask tehm at the approriate 
list: the squid developers list.

Regards from Germany,

Roland

[*]
The development of the filter was funded by my company. I know that today, in 
squid 3, there are other ways to realize such a filter, but we started with the 
filter in the pre 3 times, and sticked to it.
