Re: [squid-users] flat file parsing vs db filter rules parsing

We have started analysis on making flat file filter rules to DB Based.

Our Objective is to make as,
    acl <aclname> <acltype> "FLAT FILE" --> acl <Aclname> <acltype> "DB"

We are planning to use MySQL as DB, because of good API support to coding.

How the flat file "FLAT FILE" filter rules are parsed and stored in linked list structure? I have tried to start squid with
debug_options ALL,9 to get some useful informations regarding flat file parsing, But FLATFILE parsing is not being in debug output
as,

grep 'testsite' cache.log
2004/10/28 09:34:29| aclMatchAcl: checking 'acl site dstdomain -i "/usr/local/squidsauth/etc/testsite"'
2004/10/28 09:34:29| aclMatchAcl: checking 'acl site dstdomain -i "/usr/local/squidsauth/etc/testsite"'

Which file parses FLATFILE details and storing into system memory on squid?

Thanks for your validation and inputs.

Muthukumar.
