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 supports SSL, extensive
    access controls, and full request logging. By using the
    lightweight Internet Cache Protocol, Squid caches can be arranged
    in a hierarchy or mesh for additional bandwidth savings. 

    Squid is distrubted only in source form, and requires an ANSI C
    compiler to build. A mailing list of Squid users exists to
    exchange ideas and discuss problems. Please see the Squid home
    page for details. 

    Squid is derived from the ``cached'' software from the
    ARPA-funded Harvest research project, which can be found at
    http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/.
