thank you for your quick reply.... we will try to use the ICAP server as u suggested.. but currently we are concentrating only on the filtering part before we get to embedding the code. once that is completed we will extend it to any server.. and rite now we have squid installed on our work machines. so we currently needed to know the source file in which squid takes the body content of a web page from the web and the function containing and the name of the data structure it temporarily stores it in before storing it in the cache. we can then store it in a file there itself and use it as required. studying the source code is taking a very long time and we are running a time constraint.. so if we could please get some help on the source file, the function name and the data structure name which stores the body it would be great. thanks a lot Siddhesh Pai Raikar On 1/17/07, Alex Rousskov <rousskov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Please consider using an ICAP (RFC 3507, i-cap.org) server for content scanning, blocking, and manipulation instead of building this feature directly into Squid. To implement your functionality, you can modify one of the free or for-a-fee ICAP servers available on the web. Besides having to work with a much simpler and smaller code base, you will have an advantage of being compatible with other popular proxies because they all speak ICAP. Good luck, Alex.
