Re: [squid-users] Store object length

This is a code question. Please followup on squid-dev mailing list. The
developers can help you more with this than the Squid users can.

Err. Yes storeGetPublic() is the API to do this with.

Why are you writing a new one? what are you trying to do with Squid?

When playing with the Squid code please always upgrade to the most
recent you can before starting. Preferrably that would be 3.HEAD which
is our rolling development version.
3.1 Squid series has been officially deprecated for about five months
now, and even 3.2 is nearing end of life.

The Squid-3 series is one very long process of converting the code from
C code constructs to C++ objects APIs and pluggable mechanisms. So you
may find it much easier to code later releases, or that your fix has
already been done.
