I ran across the following statement referring to Squid in an ancient
Sys Admin article talking about Linux Transparent Proxy.
Source Quench Introduced Delay (SQuID) is a popular freeware proxy
server for UNIX machines (see "Software Resources" sidebar for more
information).
Where the "Software Resources" sidebar has:
Squid can be obtained from any of following sites:
http://squid.nalanr.net
ftp://squid.nlanr.net
The Squid Web site also contains a wealth of installation and
configuration information. Squid manuals are also available from this
site.
Does anyone know any history on Squid's name? Was SQuID the proper name
for the Squid caching proxy at one point in time? Or is this perhaps a
bad expansion in the article?
There is no relationship between the SQuID concept (RFC 1016) and our
Squid Cache. I double-checked with Duane, the Squid creator. I bet the
author of that article thought that Squid is an acronym and found a
matching acronym in RFC 1016 :-).
HTH,
Alex.
