Squid and members
November 15th, 2007
Task
Use Squid to manage a cache for a website where there are member users (logged in to site) and public users. Squid must cache both member views of a page and public views.
Squid needs to check the authentication of the user and decided whether it should redirect them to a cache for members or for public users. There are only two discrete sets of users and any content that is specific to users if handled via AJAX.
- Squid will be operating as a transparent proxy.
- Usernames/Passwords are stored within a MSSQL database.
- Squid is hosted on a unix box along with Apache
