RE: WCCP on Squid 2.3 - a solution please ?

First this should be on the squid devel rather than the users list as the
"users" don't don;t usually play with devel code. I am going to test WCCP
tommorow in a Cisco IOS 12.0(3)T and FreeBSD 3.3 environment.. If it works
it works if not I will break in the 2.3 DEVELOPMENT code and see what I
can find as to why it doesn't work. I asked the questions to the
developers got back reasonable answers and now I am going to dive into
it..

When 2.3 becomes MAINSTREAM code then you should be posting here. Also for
the benefit of those that are willing to check out what you are doing no
matter what. You should always include versions of what you are using..
Linux/FreeBSD/Solaris/Minix etc.. 2.3DEVEL?? which versions saying I have
a problem without giving _ALL_ the symtoms doesn't get us anywhere but
useless bable on a mailing list.. Yes I do it too from time to time but I
try to post relevent information to help solve the problem..

Now after tommorow you are more than welcome to ask me directly my luck..
