Squid automatic dialing

Post by Egon Rat » Tue, 11 Apr 2000 04:00:00



Hello!

Is it possible to configure Squid to call a script before getting
webpages? I am currently using two scripts (ppp_up and ppp_down) which
i call manually to establish a connection to my ISP (and for
disconnecting). I want to use this two scripts togehter with Squid. He
should check if the connection is established, and when not, he should
call the script.

Is this possible??

Bye,

Egon

Yes, but:
1) what's it got to do with comp.security.unix
2) there are two places from which you can invoke scripts; the authorization
process and url re-writing, neither of which are really appropriate to what
you're trying to acheive.

Try demand dialling instead.
