Re: [squid-users] How to do a limit quota download on a Squid proxy

I had specified how to implement proper quota support for a client -
but the project unfortunately fell through.

Its easy to hook into the end of a HTTP request and mark how much
bandwidth was used. The missing piece is a method of "permitting"
network access for users so they can't easily access hundreds of
megabytes in a given download. I had outlined another helper process
to "allow" download quotas in configurable chunks - eg per megabyte.
The other missing piece was to be able to clear all connections from a
given IP or for a given user.

All of these are easy to do if someone has some motivation. :)
