Then you should already know very well the answers to all these
questions you ask, including why Squid cannot do what you want. You
attempting to troll?

I am relatively familiar with snort - what it does and its limitations.
I was working with the Netfilter dev team to get TPROXY working when
when NFQUEUE and related features were being designed and implemented.

If you are totally familiar with iptables, then you know the statement
"get them back to kernel space" you used above is false. NFQUEUE only
receives a 32-bit integer verdict on whether the packet is to be
discarded or queued with the given delay (hint is in the name).

I have answered that question thrice now. Because IP protocol is not
HTTP protocol. Network layer is not Application layer.

 Snort is network layer software for handling IP protocol.

 Squid is application layer software for handling HTTP protocol.

Completely and utterly different requirements and limitations. For
example; "packet" is a completely unknown/foreign concept to Squid.

PS. please keep the users mailing list in your replies.
