[squid-users] Programmatically fetch the latest stable version of squid

[ngtech1ltd at gmail.com]

Hey Amos,

The page really need an update and also if it's something that we can rely on then..
we need something a bit more "working".

The only working http mirrors are:
http://mirror.marwan.ma/squid/archive/
http://mirror.marwan.ma/squid/software/
http://squid.mirror.globo.tech/archive/
http://squid.mirror.globo.tech/squid/

I have not tested the FTP ones since these are not practical for the 2022 era to what I understand.

Eliezer

If you are not patching the Squid code before build, you may find it 
easier/better to use the "stable" version of Squid for whatever OS you 
are building into the container.


If source code is required, we provide RSYNC and FTP access in addition 
to the web download pages.

The rsync provides the very latest code for each released version of 
Squid. These are updated daily from the "snapshot" tarballs.

The ftp mirrors have a section available on some of the mirrors.
(It is indicated by the user-folder icons). There you can find only the 
latest 2 official release tarballs of each series. Just parse the FTP 
directory listing and you have the latest formal (aka "stable") release 
files.
