I don't know c++ at all but I created this patch fo 2.5stable10
(included as diff file) it seems to be working :).
It implements some more anonimity not for user but for cache server (one
can disable showing squid's signature).
It's not ready yet (I learned squid's code in one night :) ), I just
want to know if this patch will be applied to squid?
Or my work is not needed?
