>>Hi all,
>>
>>
>>A couple of months ago, my boss asked me if it was
>>possible to display an Internet Access Policy when
>>users first launch their browsers without setting the
>>"Home" or "Start" page. His thought was that it should
>>
>>be possible with our current Squid Servers. I searched
>>
>>the mailing list and noticed the question had been
>>asked before but it wasn't possible without some
>>coding. I let him know.
>>
>>
>>The problem bugged me for ages. I do not know how to
>>program in C so writing the necessary code was not an
>>option for me. Also what about sites that do not use a
>>
>>Proxy Server or a server other than Squid. To cut a
>>long story short I developed an application in TCL
>>that I want to share with the Squid community in an
>>effort to give something back and hopefully to help
>>others.
>>
>>
>>The application is called "HeadsUp" and it can display
>>
>>an Internet Access Policy or Message of the Day(MOTD)
>>to users. Browsers need to be configured to use a PAC
>>file and a slight change to any existing PAC file is
>>all that is needed. The PAC file directs the browsers
>>first request to the server which is running
>>"HeadsUp". "HeadsUp" downloads a page which brings up
>>a Popup window and causes the browser to reload the
>>page again to load the real page. "HeadsUp" is
>>available from http://www.freewebs.com/headsup It is
>>built on Tclhttpd a webserver in written pure TCL and
>>packaged as a Starkit. It runs on Windows, Linux,
>>HP-UX, Tru64 and Solaris.
>>
>>Easy to install, just copy 2 files to your system and
>>run. No compiling necessary. To uninstall delete the 2
>>files!
>>
>>Enjoy!
>>

>>Kind Regards
