There are several ways.<br>
<br>
1) You can fetch the FTP directory listing from<br>
<<a href="ftp://ftp.squid-cache.org/pub/squid/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.squid-cache.org/pub/squid/</a>><br>
<br>
<br>
2) You can fetch the checksums file from that directory<br>
<<a href="ftp://ftp.squid-cache.org/pub/squid/sha1s.txt" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.squid-cache.org/pub/squid/sha1s.txt</a>> and process it rather<br>
than the directory listing. This is sometimes easier for HTTP mirrors of<br>
the FTP service.<br>
<br>
<br>
Those contain only the latest 2 releases from each series. This way you<br>
can track when we change stable series - though manual review is advised<br>
at the changeover, so you may want to make that part just a notice for<br>
attention rather than an auto-build.<br>
<br>
<br>
Any permanent URLs you need linking back to the website for HTTP<br>
download, docs, or FTP archive (all released tarballs) can be<br>
synthesized from the version number.<br>
