[squid-dev] Developing customized Cache Selection algorithm from Round Robin, Least Load

[Du, Hongfei]

Hello
We are in an attempt to extend Squid Cache selection algorithm to develop a solution for controlled storage of subscriber’s content in Squid Caches, and thereafter apply access rule on these contents, a few questions to start with:

·        As we probably has to rewrite new algorithm and recompile it, so does anyone know where(or which file) is the existing Round Robin or Least Load algorithm defined in source codes?

·        Is there straight forward method to tell/instruct squid to store content(e.g. an URL)  from network in a predefined specific disk folder rather than using the selection algorithm itself?


Any hints would be very much appreciated!

Greetings

Humphrey
