frontier-squid2 - The Frontier distribution of the Squid proxy caching server

License: GPL
Description:
Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients,
supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional
caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single,
non-blocking, I/O-driven process. Squid keeps meta data and especially
hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking
DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests.  This
squid distribution has been expecially tuned to work with the Frontier
server to cache Database entries retrieved from an ORACLE back-end,
particularly its need for the http standard If-Modified-Since feature.

Packages

frontier-squid2-2.7.STABLE9-27.1.x86_64 [835 KiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2016-08-31):
- Upgrade to frontier-squid-2.7.STABLE9-27 tarball which has the
  following release notes:
 - When using compressed logs and SQUID_CLEAN_CACHE_ON_START is true
   (both of which are default), then truncate the swap.state file
   in ufs cache directories each time logs are rotated.  Otherwise the
   file grows without bounds.
 - When using the 'restart' function, clean ufs cache directories the
   same way as when doing 'start'.
 - Change the default cache_dir size in squid.conf.proto to 10000 MB in
   case someone deletes the default 10000 MB line in customize.sh.
