| Goal: | When a request passes through a chain of one or more other proxies before reaching Squid, we sometimes want to examine the X-Forwarded-For headers to find the IP address of the original (or indirect) client, and use the indirect client address in access controls, delay pools and logs. |

| Comment: | Have Converted the old SGML documentation. Assistance welcome. |
| Goal: | Squid currently uses some exteranl binaries for certain time-critical or blocking activities. This is an experiment in converting them to C++ Objects and unifying their duplicated code paths. If successful it will result in an object tree which can be used by squid accross the application boundaries. |

| Goal: | To make a new URL matching acl matching the destination group. For example having an urllist containing "bar.com/~baduserbar" then all these URLs will match that destination group: http://bar.com/~baduser http://www.bar.com/~baduser/whatever http://www2.bar.com/~baduser/whatever/bar.html The domain prefixes www[0-9]? and web[0-9]? will be ignored by squid in URL matching ? |

| Goal: | Remove one of the busiest APIs in Squid to shuffle data from the store to the client without copying. The copying is currently unavoidable for requests coming from disk but requests coming from memory-cache will benefit. This is part of a long-term strategy to fix up the Squid APIs to perform well. |
