Could not find any better match in HTTP for creating directories without implementing WebDAV which is a bit overkill and does not map that easily to FTP... Also done automatically on PUT of a file if the directory structure where the file should be stored does not already exists. > rmdir As for delete of files this could be implemented in response to HTTP DELETE method I suppose.

A patch for implementing gatewaying of HTTP DELETE -> FTP DELE/RMDIR operations is welcome. The FTP code is relatively easy to grasp.. If the patch is to the Squid-3 code then it very likely will be accepted into Squid-3.1. At the time the FTP code was originally written HTTP did not have a DELETE method. And as there is very few clients even attempting to do anything more fancy than a plain GET these aspects for the FTP gateway in Squid has not received very much attention. Regards Henrik
