ITP: jesred (squid redirector)



Barring any objections, I'll be uploading a package of jesred in a
day or two.  Control file follows:

Source: jesred
Build-Depends: debhelper
Section: web
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Zed Pobre <zed@debian.org>
Standards-Version: 3.1.1

Package: jesred
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Recommends: squid, httpd
Description: A redirector for Squid
 Jesred is a very fast and highly configurable redirector for the Squid
 Internet Object Cache. It was derived from Chris Foote's and Wayne
 Piekarski's Squirm 1.0 betaB and some code from Squid itself, but is
 about 2-3x faster than the original version and has some additional
 features.
 .
 Jesred has the following features: 
 .
   * faster than any other known squid redirector 
   * uses only a very small amount of memory (a little bit more than
     squirm 1.0 betaB, but still less than perl ;-))
   * able to rewrite GET and optionally ICP_QUERY requests as well 
   * one global configuration file 
   * one IP access control file which supports CIDR notation only
     (i.e. subnet/mask). Thus only URL requests from the specified
   * subnets/clients are rewritten, if necessary. 
   * one rewrite rules configuration file (regular expression matching
     and replacement)
   * optionally logging of common and error messages to a file 
   * optionally logging of URL rewrites to a separate log file,
     incl. the number of the rule, which has been used to rewrite the
     URL 
   * able to re-read all its configuration files on the fly by sending
     a HUP signal to the process. That's why there is no need to
     restart Squid, if you want to: 
       1.change the used log file name[s] (useful for log file rotation) 
       2.enable/disable logging 
       3.enable/disable debug mode if compiled with DEBUG option 
       4.enable/disable URL rewriting of ICP_QUERY (sibling) requests 
       5.change the IP access patterns 
       6.change the redirect rules 
   * If you mess up configuration file[s], Jesred runs in Echo Mode
     (always echos back a newline - i.e. no URL replacement) and squid
     keeps working.
