Re: a random thought

Hi all,

A clarification on my previous mail...when i said
ftp i didnt mean http-ftp i meant normal ftp
[not ftp://.. :) ] i dont think this is already supported
in squid...i have gone thru the documentation.
squid supports only http ,http-ftp, wais, gopher etc..

sorry for being vague...

regards,
Prabhakar S
