Re: http accelerator

We use the redirector squidGuard found at http://www.squidguard.org/ . It
does a good job. From the squidGuard documentation:

12. Tell Squid to use squidGuard as the redirector by uncommenting and
    changing the following tags in squid.conf to:

             redirect_program /prefix/bin/squidGuard

So, Squid hands every URL to the redirector which decides how it should be
handled and sends the information back to Squid.
