Re: [squid-users] Re: %{Referer} or %{Referrer} header to external helper?

One common mistake (I made it myself with my first rewriter, in fact)
is to buffer the helper's STDOUT. Make sure you either disable
buffering entirely (in perl, you can do this with a "$| = 1;"
statement) or make sure you flush() STDOUT after printing OK/ERR.
