I've started work on the store url rewriter stuff in Squid-HEAD. The eventual aim is to be able to use a "canonicalised" URL form for store lookups, working around the tricks used by CDNs and other websites to distribute content and improve parallelism. Think google maps, youtube and microsoft updates caching.
The work done in Squid-2-HEAD so far is just laying groundwork and slightly reshuffling store_client.c code around - shifting the redirector code out into an external file - as preparation for further work. The current work shouldn't affect normal squid-2.HEAD behaviour as its not right now passing anything to the storeurl rewriters, nor is it using the request_t->storeurl string in any cache lookups. There's the possibility that I break a lot of stuff in the store key manipulations so that will be the very last thing I implement and only after plenty of other testing. (Note: This work isn't being sponsored by anyone; I'm just fed up that its not implemented..) Thanks, Adrian -- - Xenion - http://www.xenion.com.au/ - VPS Hosting - Commercial Squid Support -
