20080904 apache as squid
From usenix.org.uk
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:
- ProxyRequests On
- Order deny,allow
- Allow from 192.168.0.0/24
- ProxyVia On
