[Announce] Filtering patch for Squid

Announcing: Filter modules for Squid
First alpha testing release - 0.1, August 1999

This is a project to build filtering capabilities comparable to those
of Muffin (http://muffin.doit.org) into Squid (http://squid.nlanr.net).
It consists of
  * a patch to Squid, containing a module loader and filtering hooks, and
  * a set of filter modules.

Currently available filters:
  * Redirection of URIs.
  * Rejection of certain (configurable) MIME types.
  * Suppression of cookies.
  * Removal of Javascript.
  * Breaking of GIF animation loops.

Special features:
  * Modular, easily extensible by writing new filters.
  * Flexible configuration. Filters are independent from each other.
  * Each filter can take a list of URIs which should not be filtered
    (allow list). URIs are specified as full regular expressions.
  * Client can choose to bypass filters case-by-case.
  * Filtering keeps Content-Length where appropriate.
