  Description     : Prometheus exporter for Squid proxy servers

Prometheus exporter which connects to a Squid proxy server's cache
manager API and exposes metrics such as:

 * Cache hit counters
 * Client HTTP request / byte counters
 * Server HTTP / FTP requests
 * Request error counters

This package is useful for monitoring the health / performance of Squid
proxy servers, since Squid does not natively offer a Prometheus metrics
endpoint.

I plan to maintain this with the long-term assistance of the Debian Go
packaging team. Benjamin Drung (bdrung@debian.org) will sponsor me for
the upload of this package.
