Re: Squid 6.2 with WCCP

Hey,

What is required for testing the wccp code?
I can try to get a Cisco device for a basic testing.
Is there a specific bug report we can follow on this issue or maybe we should follow on the PR?

This PR <https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/pull/970> has some 
progress towards a fix of those. See the latest comment (currently Sept 
2022) for issues that still need to be resolved before that PR is ready 
for merge attempt.

The major issue remains the ability to test.
