2008-09-04 apache as squid?
Some time ago I would make programs to do conditional URL rewriting for squid and I can't say I've had any major problems with it as a HTTP proxy. Some people might have different views but I honestly can't say I've had any reason to dislike it like this.
Lately I found out about mod_proxy allowing Apache to work as a proper HTTP proxy. Well, it's dead handy.
Simply compile apache with mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http (or any other protocols you're interested in). Then add something like the following to your httpd.conf file:
<IfModule mod_proxy.c> ProxyRequests On <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from 192.168.0.0/24 </Proxy> ProxyVia On </IfModule>
