2 questions today: First, does it matter that a browser is talking to a proxy versus a web browser? Someone asked because they believe that when it's talking to a proxy it issues a CONNECT, where if it's talking to a web server it places a GET - wondering if this is true, and if it will effect anything.
The CONNECT method is (given a default squid.conf) only allowed when accessing a webserver on port 443.
Second, how do companies that need metrics on their Apache logs deal with Squid logs? Do I need to patch the src as they describe here: http://www.jamkit.com/Services/TechnologyResources/Apache-stylesquidlogs - do I need to wait for 3.0 or should I just have them run reporting against Squid logs? I'm now trying emulate_httpd_log on - but the logs don't look any different.
Many log analyzers recognize squid logs. Otherwise, get the web server logs to use the VIA or X_Forwarded_For headers.
I'm running 2.6.STABLE13 x86_64 binary on Red Hat EL4 x86_64 - when does 3.0 come out? Thanks for the advice. P -- Phil Cryer IS - Linux Administrator Desk 5-6987
