The second days of the squid sprint is over.

We've closed about 6 bugs in bugzilla by fixing them, triaged about 50 more bugs, and merged in the long pending Disk IO modularisation - so the UFS disk layout can run with AIO/Threads/DiskD/Blocking... and COSS can now use Threads/Diskd or Blocking which it couldn't before..

We also discussed some long term goals for squid, which will be taken into consideration in all design and planning. They are:

HTTP/1.1

More 'extension by module' facilities - i.e. the oft requested overnight re-verification of objects should be doable by a module.

The cache should have granular control - i.e. to deactive a cache dir when a disk has failed - this implies some sort of control channel.

Connection pinning - essentially becoming a TCP Passthrough - and support for SPNEGO.

A comprehensive test suite.

Dinner was at a nice italian place, I had Biscetti & chips :).
