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-2.7.STABLE9-24.1.x86_64 [837 KiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2015-06-03):
- Upgrade to frontier-squid-2.7.STABLE9-24 tarball which has the
  following release note:
 - Fix the disabling of log compression with the SQUID_COMPRESS_LOGS=false
   setting.  The variable was not being honored in the nightly log rotate
   cron, so log compression still happened at night.  It was being 
   honored in the every 15 minute check, so if the maximum log size
   was reached during the day it removed all the compressed files
   that were rotated overnight, losing log history.
frontier-squid-2.7.STABLE9-21.1.x86_64 [835 KiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2014-12-03):
- Upgrade to frontier-squid-2.7.STABLE9-21 tarball which has the
  following release notes:
 - Fix redirection of stderr in the hourly and daily crons so error
   messages properly go to squidcron.log.
 - Only require the minimum 4096 file descriptors when doing one
   of the commands that contain "start" (that is, "start", "restart",
   or "condrestart") with multiple squids.
 - Add the script that generates squid.conf to the list of files that
   trigger regenerating squid.conf if they're newer than squid.conf.
 - Only generate the per-squid configuration files used with multiple
   squids when squid.conf is newer than them.
