Hello,
Francesco and I would like to remove squidclient tool from Squid so
that we can divert resources to more important areas[1]. As far as we
can tell, all essential squidclient functionality can be obtained via
well-known command-line clients like curl, wget, nc, s_client, etc. For
example, `mgr:foo` shortcuts can be replaced with URLs like
`http://localhost:3128/squid-internal-mgr/foo` (in a script or shell
alias if needed).
If you routinely use squidclient _and_ do not think you can replace it
with another client, please respond and detail your use case!
We will collect use cases until the end of October 2023. If we then
remove squidclient as currently planned, then that removal will _not_
affect Squid v6 and earlier releases, of course -- those releases will
keep squidclient.
Thank you,
Alex.
P.S. This email thread is _not_ the right place to discuss squidclient
_problems_, including Squid Bug #5283[2]. Please focus on squidclient
features that you use and consider irreplaceable.
