[squid-users] FreeBSD, OpenBSD and IP-Filter users wanted, running Squid as transparent proxy

I need help to verify a pending patch for transparent interception on
various platforms. I can only verify this on Linux myself.

If you run Squid as a transparent proxy on another platform than Linux,
using one of the following configure options:

    --enable-ipf-transparent (IP-Filter)
    --enable-pf-transparent (PF network translation)

then please help verifying that Squid-2.5.STABLE9 + the patch from Bug
1193 compiles cleanly, and that the original IP address discovery still
works

Patch file:
http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=583&action=view

How to apply to the Squid sources:

cd squid-2.5.STABLE9
wget -O- 'http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=583&action=view' | patch -p0

Then build and install Squid as usual, but with a slight change in
squid.conf:

   httpd_accel_port 0

instead of the usual

   httpd_accel_port 80

Note: http_port should be the default 3128, or at least not 80 for this
test to be complete.

How to verify that IP address discovery and patch in general works proper:

From a client having port 80 traffic intercepted by the proxy execute

   telnet www.squid-cache.org 80
   GET / HTTP/1.0
   [blank line]

Then verify that you get the Squid page back and that access.log contains
a request for http://206.168.0.9/

Please report any success/failure in the bug report:
http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1193

don't forget to mention which of the two configure flags you used.

Regards
Henrik
