The www/squid port
squid-6.12p0v0 – WWW and FTP proxy cache and accelerator
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.
Squid supports SSL, extensive access controls, and full request logging.
By using the lightweight Internet Cache Protocol, Squid caches can be
arranged in a hierarchy or mesh for additional bandwidth savings.
Flavours:
krb5 build with Kerberos 5 support (if you intend to use this
for auth against Microsoft directory services, you may
find the "msktutil" package useful).
