Re: [squid-users] NEW:Re: [squid-users] Banner

And you have received the slightly obfuscated answer "this is not the
job of Squid".

You have two choices:

  a) Make your users install and use your custom made browser who
includes such banners. (most likely the easiest approach)

  b) Write a content transforming proxy who adds such banner by clever
rewriting of returned HTML. Quite many sites are likely to fail when
accessed via such proxy.

Writing a prototype proxy doing 'b' is simple. Writing one that actually
works to a acceptable level is a nightmare and requires detailed
knowledge of programming, HTML, Dom, JavaScript and VBScript, as all
levels need to be adjusted to account for the banner added..

Complications for a rewriting proxy adding banner:

  * Frames. The proxy do not know if a page is displayed in a frameset
or not.

  * DOM. If you change the HTML layout then this may have effects on the
DOM layout as well unless done carefully.

  * JavaScript/VBScripts. Care must be taken not to disturb
JavaScript/VBScript snippets running on the pages..

  * HTML Layout.

  * CSS layout.

  And probably many more.

Henrik
