One year ago, I was seeking for a filtering solution for squid proxy.
While I was seeking I read about ICAP protocol and one of squids branch which supports it.
I had read a lot of thinks, I was searching for long time for other implementations,
I read about ICAP servers, antivirus software but I never read these discusions or a relevant reference.
Now it seems that we are working on the same think.
I don't now, maybe we can collaborate.
I am considering the ICAP protocol not only as an antivirus solution but as a general solutions which will supports a number of services. One of these services will be the antivirus service. An other service maybe has the functionality of squidGuard (categorized list of sites and access control on them). An other maybe is a translator from one language to another. One of my major goals is to provide support for continued streams for video or audio streams for example.
One more issue in which someone must take care is that a new protocol
for filtering currently designed, the OCP protocol
(http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-opes-ocp-core-05.txt)
and maybe in the feature replace ICAP protocol (My opinion is not in near feature ...).
Now, I am planning to start the development of antivirus service
but Iam thinking it as a fatigue (like the works of the army: washing plates
or stairs etc).
In the other hand I am working slowly as I have to make money for living
which means that I have to develop other thinks simultaneusly for customers...
However, if any help needed by clamav developers about ICAP protocol I am going to try to help them.
