Dear Sirs,
I am doing the Msc dissertation on COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF WEB CACHING
AND CONTENT BLOCKING TECHNIQUES at Gloucestershire University, UK . I
have decided to implement and test SQUID and POLIPO in terms of the
above two features... i.e web caching and content blocking in linux
machine. What would be the best approach to perform this analysis.
Sir, what would you recommend?
I would like to further analyse THE ARCHITECTURE and ALGORITHM of
these two softwares. Could you please recommend a way to understand
these two features. I have tried my best to get the resources about
them... but they do not demonstrate their architecture nor the
algorithm.
Wishing to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely Yours

Greetings,
Architecture:
* not sure about polipo.
* Squid does not have one. At least formally. It's a collection of
features designed as miniature state engines thrown onto an event driven
* There has recently been an effort to design an architecture which
will allow SMP support to be developed properly. You can read the bare
bones of it here http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/SmpSupport though
since that architecture does not exist yet, I'm doubtful of its use to
your project.
Algorithm:
* Several hundred of those currently in Squid. No one of the
developers knows them all.
* Good luck. I've been flow-charting the main processing pathway for
several months now and only just reached what I estimate as the middle.
Long ways to go before its really usable.
