I have been asked to look at ways of filtering URLs to people browsing from a business site. (FW-1 is used there, but they seem to have discounted that option. I see from a post on this list from 1997 that one reader was using this with partial success. I know Raptor has scope for this, but is not used here.) To my mind this looks like an easy extension to squid, particularly if you are using an external redirector program. The intended form of blocking has not yet been described to me - whether it is to be based on a whitelist of domain names, filename extensions, MIME types or what. It is also said there will be requirements for logging and for identifying human browsers on NT. What does NT have as rough "ident"/"rusers" equivalents ? Or means of authenticating users in advance to a proxy ? What can people suggest ? I'll summarise any useful stuff sent off list. -- ############################################################## # Antonomasia antat_private # # See http://www.notatla.demon.co.uk/ # ##############################################################
