Hey Cristopher, I don't know where you are working or what is your TimeZone and I think that before you jump into any adventure attacking the subject I think it would be wise to understand the nature of the issue. With my experience as an ISP sysadmin I can tell you that many of the issues your clients\users are having might not have any connection at all to things you can imagine or dream about. The smart way that I believe is appropriate is to verify the current state of the system\setup and then understand what is required in order to do something about the relevant issues which you can overcome\improve. There are issues which are not related to CS but to the brilliant minds of Hollywood or commercials like Google Chrome one about speed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCgQDjiotG0 and many others that are out there. If you are up to the challenge of analyzing the current state of the system setup and find the right(both technical and in-budget) solution to your needs, whether if it exists already as an open source project or a ready to use product I will be happy to assist you with it. If you are Interested to get a free consultation just send me a private email with your TZ and\or add the way you want and able to contact me. My mobile is on the signature and I am also available at skype as: elico2013 Feel free to contact me also via telegram or whatsapp. Eliezer * My TZ is +3 ---- Eliezer Croitoru Linux System Administrator Mobile: +972-5-28704261 Email: eliezer@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Ahrens [mailto:christopher@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2017 07:06 To: Eliezer Croitoru <eliezer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>; squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Content Adaptation with HTTPs The current solution doesn't work for me since it only supports a very limited number of clients. I am working with a charity that provides internet services to those with impaired vision, the intention of my project was to set up a semi-public proxy for recipient of the charity (EG, we would install DD-WRT like routers within their homes that would create a tunnel into our network so that they could browse the internet using off-the-shelf systems. We recently received a large number of tablets form a corporate donor, the tablets themselves will work for our recipients, but unfortunately the internet at large does not. We've looked into commercial systems in the past, but we cannot afford the cost of commercial systems, especially since we are unsure about the exact licensing that would be needed for our endeavor. We have also been burnt in the past with commercial software where the project either goes dead, begins to require insanely expensive appliances, or the license price is sent sky-high. Would it be possible to use a setup of Squid <-> Privoxy <-> Squid to execute this? I figure we'd build an internal instance that will handle the client<->proxy part, Privoxy handles the content modification, then a second Squid instance to handle the web server<->proxy part. SO it looks like the solution would be to find a developer to write an ECAP to cycle through regexes to replace/remove HTML/CSS content. So time to dig out my old C++ books and get to work... -Christopher Eliezer Croitoru wrote: > Hey Christopher, > > For such a solution you will be required to have a content adaptation service that was designed to render the JS and other content in the page. > It's not something you would find out there just waiting for you since a lot of work is required to write such a piece of software. > The current solution makes sense. > > All The Bests, > Eliezer > > ---- > Eliezer Croitoru > Linux System Administrator > Mobile: +972-5-28704261 > Email: eliezer@xxxxxxxxxxxx > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: squid-users [mailto:squid-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Christopher Ahrens > Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2017 01:37 > To: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Content Adaptation with HTTPs > > I am looking for guidance on doing Content Adaptation with https traffic > on my network to aid some accessibility systems like increasing the > contrast between text and the background (Modifying font color and > background tags, removing background images) or removing extraneous > content such a social media buttons, external javascript, removing > auto-play from audio streams (So that the audio stream does not drown > out the screen reader) > > Right now I am doing this AdBlockPlus + Element Hider and GreaseMonkey. > > My goal here is to essentially do the same as those tools but for the > entire network so that these changes can still be applied for devices > that do not support extensions and the like. > > I looked at the ICAP services available and nothing there will work for > my purposes. > > -Christopher > _______________________________________________ > squid-users mailing list > squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users > > > _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
