Hi, I run Squid on a dorm network, to decrease content loading time with cache. Currently, we're upgrading Squid to 3.1, because we are moving to IPv6. But, since our bandwidth is quite limited, we have great interest in caching videos from Youtube/Dailomtion/Youporn/pick one. However, this requires to use storeurl, which has not been ported to Squid 3.1, and there is no trace of it in 3.2 either.
I see in the release notes that "If you need something to do then porting one of these from Squid-2 to Squid-3 is most welcome.", so here I am :) To introduce myself a little bit further, I'm a (student) network engineer, and I have been hacking around for a few years. I've already run small/mid-sized projects on my own, like Karibou [1], but never really contributed code to something as big as Squid (there's a first time to everything :)). My programming experience is mostly with scripting languages (Python, PHP) or GUI development with C++/Qt, thus I did never "really" code in C : most of the things I've done are typical school projects, and reading source code to help me understanding the documentation. So, for now I'll read a bit about squid internals and coding guidelines waiting for any question/comment. Have a good day/evening/night/whatever :) -- Rémy Sanchez [1] http://gitorious.org/karibou
