I've scoured the web for the mysql_acl patch but it doesn't seem to be available anywhere. You suggested writing my own MySQL external ACL helper. I've never used Perl (the language you suggested using) but I was just wondering if it would be possible to do it using PHP? I do have experience with PHP and accessing MySQL from within it but I am a complete newbie when it comes to Squid. > Sounds like your old Squid included an inofficial patch for integration > with MySQL. > Probably the patch by Matthew Naylor linked from the > devel.squid-cache.org.
