------------------ Jesred is a Squid redirector program. -------------------
It is derived from Chris Foote's
and Wayne Piekarski's squirm 1.0 betaB (see http://www.senet.com.au/squirm/)
and uses some slightly modified routines (IP ACL stuff) from squid (see
http://squid.nlanr.net).
For more information about Squid redirectors see
http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/FAQ/FAQ-14.html
Main improvements wrt. squirm 1.0 betaB:
=========================================
- uses a configuration file (jesred.conf)
- strict usage of subnet/mask notation and squid's ip acl lists to determine,
whether to rewrite the passed URL for a specific client/sibling or not
(probably a big plus for Class A and B networks)
- optionally allows to rewrite URL's for siblings as well
- optionally logging of common and error messages to a file
- optionally logging of URL rewrites to a separate file
- avoids persistent opening/closing of the log file[s]
- supports reconfiguration via 'kill -HUP pid' and re-reads the complete
configuration file, and that's why it is able to change the following
on the fly, i.e. no need to restart squid:
- change the used log file[s] (useful for log file rotation - just
rewrite jesred.conf and send a HUP signal to jesred processes)
- enable/disable logging
- enable/disable debug mode if compiled with DEBUG option
- enable/disable URL rewriting of ICP_QUERY (sibling) requests
******************************************
- finally: * ABOUT TWICE AS FAST as squirm 1.0betaB *
******************************************
(even with ICP_QUERY URL rewriting it was still twice as fast as squirm -
remember: squirm allows to rewrite GET requests only! I tested with
the extract of the first 100.000 entries from our parent cache's
access.log file and our class B subnet - i.e. 141.44.0.0/16 )
Main drawback wrt. squirm 1.0 betaB:
=====================================
- it uses about 256 KB more than squirm on solaris 2.6
(but anyway, it is still less than perl 5.004 ;-))
