Re: Redirector that reads HTTP header?

Squid cannot do this out of the box, but you should be able to do it
with a little coding. Best place to attack the problem is in
redirectStart I think.

The request headers are available in http->request->header, and is
accessible using the httpHeaderGet* functions.

If if is a new header not understood by Squid then you probably have to
add it to enums.h and HttpHeader.c to be able to access it.

For the implementation side you have two possible paths: Either you
build your redirection in the C code, or you extend the redirector
interface to pass the information you need.
