Hi everyone, I'd like to introduce myself to the dev team and start helping out.
My name is Alistair Reay and I'm a system engineer at a large New Zealand broadcaster that uses Squid and other open-source software extensively. Using squid we've built the nations largest and cheapest commercial CDN for our VOD offering so I've got a vested interest in helping Squid kick more ass. Although I'm not a professional developer, I have a lot of interest in contributing code to this project and I've created a production-ready load balancer project in SourceForge called Octopus http://sourceforge.net/projects/octopuslb/ that works really well behind Squid. Anyway, the first thing I'd like to do is investigate how refresh_stale_hit works and try to improve it. I searched to squid-users mail list and found this thread of conversation which is what I'd like to implement in Squid2.7. If you'll have me, I'll subscribe to this mailing list and make a new topic about this feature request then start work. http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200609/0162.html User's query/request (also what I'd like to be able to do) http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200609/0167.html Henrik's response Cheers Al ========================================================== For more information on the Television New Zealand Group, visit us online at tvnz.co.nz ========================================================== CAUTION: This e-mail and any attachment(s) contain information that is intended to be read only by the named recipient(s).
