Re: [Fwd: Squid patch]

Sorry for the late response.

Have now added a link to this from devel.squid-cache.org.

If you want, we can create a branch on devel.squid-cache.org for this, to
keep it maintained with current Squid developments.

I am a little bit indecided upon if integrating MySQL lookups into Squid like
this is a a good idea, or if it is better to use the generic external_acl
approach <http://devel.squid-cache.org/external_acl/>. With the external_acl
approach an external helper is used for performing the lookup, and the
results are cached within Squid to avoid exessive lookups.
