You said that the web archived version of the mysql_acl website (http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~mfn100/squid_mysql.html) still had the patch available for download, are you sure this is the case? I have tried every version of the site and I can't find a link that lets me download an actual gzip file - I can only save the html file that contains the error message pertaining to the fact the file does not exist. If you - or anyone - has this patch I would be eternally grateful if you could email me it, or provide me with a URL for download. Many thanks, Glynn.
