frontier-squid - The Frontier distribution of the Squid proxy caching server
| License: |

- Description:
Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients,
supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional
caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single,
non-blocking, I/O-driven process. Squid keeps meta data and especially
hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking
DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests. This
squid distribution has been expecially tuned to work with the Frontier
server to cache Database entries retrieved from an ORACLE back-end,
particularly its need for the http standard If-Modified-Since feature.
