RE: [squid-users] POST method

Jesred does not support the POST method. The Jesred developer is aware of this, however due to time constraints he has not been able to add the method, though he is hoping to do so as soon as possible. In the mean time, I came across a fix (it appears to work) by Eugene Miretskiy. Perhaps it may solve your problem:

I still do not understand this requrement. squid can handle posts, can't it?

jesreds job is to rewrite the url, why should it care about the request method?

As a matter of fact, this simple change to rewrite.c in jesred makes it
recognize
post.

Can somebody please explain to me why is there a compelling reason to require
GET method?
Thank you.

No - but I have more info on the problem now.
setting:
httpd_accel_host to virtual and
httpd_accel_port to 0
causes the following in the jesred redirect.log
1032187450.226 Request: http://someurl.somepage/view=search 
2xx.xx.xxx.xx//- - POST
1032187450.226 method not "GET" http://someurl.somepage/view=search 
2xx.xx.xxx.xx/- - POST
1032187450.231 Request: http://someurl.somepage/view=search 
2xx.xx.xxx.xx//- - POST
1032187450.231 method not "GET" http://someurl.somepage/view=search 
2xx.xx.xxx.xx//- - POST
Any ideas??
Cheers
Simon.
