AFAIK most Australian ISP's run intercepting caches, and squid is a common choice for the cache component. Its not a static tool though - media vendors are continually finding new and interesting ways to fuck with HTTP, and browsers too - and squid changes to accomodate these things. So if you're running an ISP with an intercepting proxy, really, seriously, you're a numpty if you don't run the latest stable release. PLEASE apply cluebats to relevant ISP staff whenever they are in reach. -Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://www.robertcollins.net/keys.txt>.
