[squid-users] Solving the mysteries of the icap client..

Hi,

This is my first post on the squid-users mailing list and as an introduction i'll start with a few questions on the squid icap client :)

1. Why was the balancing mechanism removed from the icap client ( starting from 3.x i think, didn't read the changelogs recently ) ? Now i have to delegate icap balancing to a local HAProxy instance, which is less convenient even if HAProxy works great.

2. when having multiple ICAP services configured in squid, and considering that each of them can potentially alter the content of requests/responses, is there a way to decide if the services must be chained, or queried asynchronously ? the good thing would be to be able to set this behavior for each icap service configured.

That's all for today, but no doubts i will have plenty of other questions in the near future :)

Best regards,

C.
