Fred Hi Fred, Thank you very much for the interest. The wiki page http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Translations/Basics covers the initial detais you need to know. Including how to register with our Pootle system which controls the translation process. Brazillian Portuguese already has a translation moderator. I've emailed him now to find out how he wishes to go forward with this and will get back to you about where we go from there. Meanwhile feel free to signup to Pootle and start adding change suggestions to Pootle. Amos
Introducing Myself
Hi, I'm Herc, I'm using Squid since few years now, but I do only my installations from the sources as I have some specific needs. I'm here to find someone to help me to resolve my problem, and this will may be help someone else. cheers Herc. _ Le nouveau Hotmail est presque arrivé, ne le manquez pas ! http://www.windowslive.fr/nouveau-hotmail/
Introducing Myself
Greetings, My name is Renato, I'm from Brazil and I work as a network and server administrator consultant full time. We have several squid servers and now I'm very glad to be able to test the DEV brand of this incredible software. Actually I like the tproxy new feature integrated to the 3.1 brand very much and I would like to share information about it... Thank you!
RE: Introducing myself
Hi Alex, I think that'd be a good idea. The main thing stopping my company using Squid 3 is the lack of collapsed_forwarding.

It's on the must-do list of stuff hoping to be in the next release though. So any help you can give that way would be a step forward. IIRC there is an old port for 3.0 which Henrick started on the old devel.squid-cache.org CVS. I think it was either not quite complete enough or waiting some tested before merging and got left to long. It needs checking to see how relevant it is now and updating if it's still useful or re-writing if not. P.S. Hi Alistair :) It's good to see other interest here in NZ.

The fact is, I've also seen a LD helper written in C somewhere... The only other MySQL stuff I've seen was Arthur Tumanyan's shaga patch in 2007, which was for integrated MySQL support before LD came along. Might be interesting to compare the SQL tables etc, but the code is not relevant to this. Adrian wrote the initial access.log output into LD form using the original C from inside Squid. I'm not aware of any other LD around yet. If you are intending and able to stick around and support the script I believe mysql logging is one of the helpers we could find great use for bundling. I have developed the perl script in my spare time, so I might not be as timely as I should, but I'm willing to support and expand it. I'm not a C or C++ expert, but if you feel that it's better to have a LD helper written in C or C++ rather than perl, I might also look into that. The only issues we have with coding language are that it must be widely usable/useful, and someone is able to keep up with bug fixes. Perl passes on both. Amos Ok, perfect. I have registered the project on sourceforge, but I've not yet commited anything there. Is it the right way to host the script and its future developements ? The project is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/squid-mysql-log/ Up to you. Thats how the squid_kerb_auth did it. The binary name if we bundle with Squid will end up being log_mysql_daemon.pl though. Amos I have registered a new project on sourceforce based on the name you suggested. http://sourceforge.net/projects/logmysqldaemon/ I also have submitted some code through svn.

Introducing myself
Hallo, I have been using squid for about 3 years now for normal web caching and url filtering in our company. I have written a small perl script to be used as a logfile daemon, which stores the access log entries in a mysql database. I'm currently using it in our company and I've also received requests from a few people that were looking for a mysql access log solution for squid. So far the script is working well, but mine is a low traffic scenario (15 clients), so I'd like to see it tested in more demanding environments to find out bugs or performance bottlenecks. Also, some of the views contained in the DDL script accompaining the daemon were written as an excercise, while some other provided useful information for my own requirements. The list of views could be expanded or modified based on other people's requests. The last line on my TODO list is how to deal with database growth. Currently there is no consolidation routine, so the database has to be cleaned by hand. I have some experience in mysql and postgresql, so I'm planning to write a version of the script for postgresql also. -- Marcello Romani

I grabbed a copy of your early script and was playing around with it. http://www.mail-archive.com/squid-us...@squid-cache.org/msg53342.html Ouch! You're right. The fact is, I've also seen a LD helper written in C somewhere... The only other MySQL stuff I've seen was Arthur Tumanyan's shaga patch in 2007, which was for integrated MySQL support before LD came along. Might be interesting to compare the SQL tables etc, but the code is not relevant to this. Adrian wrote the initial access.log output into LD form using the original C from inside Squid. I'm not aware of any other LD around yet. If you are intending and able to stick around and support the script I believe mysql logging is one of the helpers we could find great use for bundling. I have developed the perl script in my spare time, so I might not be as timely as I should, but I'm willing to support and expand it. I'm not a C or C++ expert, but if you feel that it's better to have a LD helper written in C or C++ rather than perl, I might also look into that. The only issues we have with coding language are that it must be widely usable/useful, and someone is able to keep up with bug fixes. Perl passes on both. Amos Ok, perfect. I have registered the project on sourceforge, but I've not yet commited anything there. Is it the right way to host the script and its future developements ? The project is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/squid-mysql-log/ Up to you. Thats how the squid_kerb_auth did it. The binary name if we bundle with Squid will end up being log_mysql_daemon.pl though. Amos Hmmm... I think it's preferrable to have consistent names. I'll look into renaming the registered project or creating a new one. -- Marcello Romani
Introducing myself to the group
Hello, I would like to introduce myself to the group and join the squid-dev. My name is Jack Quinlin and I have been using Squid in production environments for five years now and have 20+ Squid servers deployed. I think the best use of my skill set would be in testing and some lite development. I would like work in the areas along the lines of 3.x performance, content adaption, and scalability but I am here to help in any area that I can . Best Regards, Jack

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 -- Roland Wolters Tel.: +49 (0)21 61 / 46 43-181 pgp fingerprint: D2DE 4612 9C7D 7B7A 420D 84A8 E900 29F9 C16C 2283 credativ GmbH, HRB Mönchengladbach 12080 Hohenzollernstr. 133, 41061 Mönchengladbach Geschäftsführung: Dr. Michael Meskes, Jörg Folz signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Introducing myself
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.

Introducing myself
Hi, I want to discuss some features about caching, more precisely changes in cache behavior and refresh_pattern. I think that clientCheckNoCache() should be called on clientHttpReplyAccessCheck(), so we could allow cached based on reply mime type (useful for youtube and googlevideos). Also, refresh_pattern should use acl to be more flexible, but this required major surgery I think. regards, Diego -- Diego Woitasen XTECH - Soluciones Linux para empresas (54) 011 5219-0678

Introducing myself
Hi there all you squid tamers! I'm Cleber Rodrigues, from Brazil, and I'm interested in following squid development, and hopefully help along. Our company, Global Red, is a genuine FOSS company, and we have been developing some extra features that our customers and our projects require. One of these, is available at: http://nop.globalred.com.br/svn/gr-netservices/gr-webproxy/squid/squid-2.5.STABLE6-access_log_exclude.patch We call it AccessLogExclude, and allows for ACLs to define some accesses that will not be logged. Maybe there's something out there that already does this, maybe not. That's exactly why I want to get closer to the dev team. Hope that's enough for now, and thanks a lot for your time and patience. -- Cleber Rodrigues [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Introducing myself
I have been using the cvs version of squid for a few months now and have found and reported a few bugs. I would like to chase down a few questions regarding the use of assert and the use of the disk cache whith non caching squid among other things. I feel that these issues need to be discussed to improve squid even more. -- regs MR E_T ___ \ \ \ OOHH I hate TYPOS \ \ \ ~~~

Hi all: First of all, I'd like to learn Squid's architecture and after that work on squid performance issues, such as replacement policy, disk cache I/O and OS tunning. I've already downloaded the tech paper about LFUDA and GDSF. My first questions should be simple questions relied over squid coding and how things works. About easy things. For example, where can i get a paper/information about LRU replacement policy? -- []'s Lucas Brasilino [EMAIL PROTECTED] Procuradoria da República no Estado de Roraima +55-95-6239642

Re: introducing myself
Hello I've spoken to me lecturer about current situation. He wants us to implement ETags in Squid 3. So, we agreed that the first part of our task will be porting ETag patch from 2.5 to 3. What do you think about this idea? Best regards Mike Matusiak
Re: introducing myself
On Mon, 22 Mar 2004, Michal Matusiak wrote: In this semester, I participate in Programming WWW lecture and I have one task to accomplish: add something to Squid. You are most welcome! I'm going to do this with my school mate (he will introduce himself later, I hope). In last two weeks we were trying to uncover ETag functionality in Squid 2.5 (with patch) and squid 3. In our opinion ETags are not fully implemented. So, our task has become: add full(?) ETags support in Squid 3. ETag is not at all implemented in Squid-3 due to various stupid reasons, and this is very much needed. Any help there is very much preciated. But from what I can remember the ETag implementation in the Squid-2.5 ETag patch is fairly complete. What in terms of ETag functionality have you found missing in this patch? The Squid-2.5 patch is known to have some noticeable issues in its design of the ETag index etc, but I do not remember any shortcomings in ETag functionality as such. But it was quite a while since I last worked on this and I may well have forgot something important. Regards Henrik

Hello
This is first (and most important in this moment) question I have about
ETag support.
(I use short form LM instead of Last-Modified, I write this to avoid confusion)
What happens when there is cached object without LM but with ETag?
The intention is that there should then be a If-None-Match request using
the ETag of the expired object.
If there is no priorly known object matching the request then
If-None-Match should include all the known ETags of this URL.
Let's assume that our object is STALE when the request comes.
Squid should validate but finds that object has no LM so this is MISS.
But the object has ETag. Why this ETag is not used as validator?
We found that during our tests of Squid behaviour but later I've analyzed
the code of client_side.c (with ETag patch) and I found those lines:
...
r-flags.need_validation = 1;
if (e-lastmod 0) {
/*
* Previous reply didn't have a Last-Modified header,
* we cannot revalidate it.
*/
http-log_type = LOG_TCP_MISS;
...
Hmm...
In my opinion ETags should be used as validator even when Last-Modified
header field is not present. Am'I completely wrong or what?
You are correct.
And a quick verification of the etag-2.5 branch does indeed verify your
claim that this does not work the way it is intended. Looking a bit
further it is even mentioned in the etag todo list:
http://devel.squid-cache.org/etag/
From a quick peek in the code most of the logics for handling this kind of
object seems to be there, but obviously some small details like the code
you indicated prevents it from being used in this specific case. There is
also some other places involving request-lastmod which prevents this from
working the way it is intended (clientProcessExpired for one).

Henrik
