Im using squid 3.0 STABLE 25. Im working on a project involving prepaid web browsing. I do have a browsing session running. I'm just looking if there is a mechanism within squid (or any custom modifications to squid) to HOLD ON the transfer of data after a couple of bytes (say 20 KB) have been transfered and ask the user to approve or deny the transfer of the next set of bytes. Is there any function to pause the connection (socket programming c++). Thanks in advance!!
Byte-level controls like this are not possible without severely screwing up all the HTTP transactions a client has. http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Portal/Splash outlines how to configure it per-object instead. There are payment-required status codes in HTTP that can be combined with the splash if you can guarantee the client software will support them.
3.2 is needed for client bandwidth limits. http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/ClientBandwidthLimit Amos -- Please be using Current Stable Squid 2.7.STABLE9 or 3.1.11 Beta testers wanted for 3.2.0.5
