frontier-squid - 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-squid-4.12-2.1.x86_64 [8.0 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2020-06-19):
- Upgrade to 4.12-2 tarball with the following release notes (from 4.12-1
   and 4.12-2):
 - Update to squid-4.12 with release announcement at
     https://www.mail-archive.com/squid-announce@lists.squid-cache.org/msg00114.html
    It includes a couple of security advisories, but the are on
    features that as far as I know are not used by frontier-squid users.
 - Remove patches for bug #5030 and #5041 which are included in 4.12
 - Slightly update patch for bug #5051 as recommended by squid consultant
 - Note that an additional, more relevant squid advisory fixed in 4.12 was
    published late:
     https://www.mail-archive.com/squid-announce@lists.squid-cache.org/msg00116.html
 - Support the "stdio:" prefix for access_log
frontier-squid-4.11-3.1.x86_64 [6.8 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2020-06-03):
- Upgrade to 4.11-3 tarball with the following release notes:
 - Apply patch for bug #5051 which prevents a negative cache from
    persisting indefinitely with if-modified-since and collapsed forwarding.
 - Fix shoal when there are multiple squid workers.
 - Add cc.*\.in2p3\.fr to MAJOR_CVMFS.  It was already in ATLAS_FRONTIER
    so it was included for installations that accept both, but not for
    those that accept only MAJOR_CVMFS.
