This is the README for Squid.1.1.21.NIHS.b.tar.gz [Download] [Browse] [Up]
This installer package contains the Squid internet cache for NEXTSTEP. It has
been compiled for m68k, hppa, i486 and sparc.
Note that this release differs in one small way from the official Squid-1.1.20
release.
When the privacy mode is turned to 'paranoid', the normal release does not
pass on User-Agent and WWW-Authenticate. While that is sound from a privacy
perspective, the behaviour breaks HTTP. Besides, WWW-Authenticate is used for
passing on information from login panels, and as such is a consious act by a
user and should not be blocked by the proxy. As far as User-Agent is
concerned, a value can be overriden in de configuration file and therefore
privacy remains unbreached.
Currently, the Run* scripts in /usr/local/squid/bin do not work because they
assume a non-standard date program. If you want them to work, compile and
install the following program as /usr/local/squid/bin/epoch:
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
long t = time();
printf( "%ul\n", t);
}
And change the "date '+%d%H%M%S'" invocations in the Run* scripts to
/usr/local/squid/bin/epoch
