Re: Transparent-ly obtained objects in a name-based hierarchy: problems?

How many times do I have to repeat this:

1.1.20 needs a small patch to support Host: header based acceleration at
the same time as virtual. I have said this several times lately
(including in the message you responded to... althought not very clear).

The patch is available from http://hem.passagen.se/hno/squid/

What the patch does is that it changes the processing order of virtual
and host based acceleration, so that the Host: header is used if
available, else the destination IP.

Without the patch the destination IP is always used when httpd_accel
virtual is set, regardless of what httpd_accel_uses_host_header is set
to.

Without the patch you either can't support Host: based virtual servers,
or old clients not sending a Host: header.

With the patch you can support all of them in the same way as it is
without a proxy, and get a higher hit ratio at the same time. This is
especially true if you have a mixed environment where some is using you
as a standard proxy, and some as a transparent proxy.
