Re: squid-oe5-hotmail

The old (1.2.beta23) patch is tagged as scrapped because it isn't done
in the proper way, and because of this it isn't maintained either. It is
available as a reference more than a patch.

I am on the way to construct a new implementation acheiving the same
goal in request processing flow and structure, but done in a quite
different way. It is made from scratch with the lessions learnt from the
earlier attemt and discussions with other Squid developers. The sad news
is that I have found myself to have very little time to spend on Squid
development lately (all Squid things I do is on my spare time, not part
of my work).

I hope to be able to present something withing the next weeks. Much of
the basic structure is in place, but I have not yet dared to try to
fully compile the beast, or even less run it. There are some things left
to implement, and then probably quite a bit of debugging and collection
of loose ends before there is something usable.

The current request processing code is flawed in more than one way, and
I have never liked how it is done (well, it was fine before the
introduction of persistent connections, but not afterwards)
