Firstly please tell me if I should be posting this to the users mailing
list...
I am trying to set up a splash page using the ext_session_acl helper.
However, I get the error message FATAL: The ext_session_acl helpers are
crashing too rapidly, need help! in the log.
I tried initially using V3.1.2 as provided with Debian, and am now
trying with V3.2.0.7
The configuration I am using is as follows:
external_acl_type ext_session_acl ttl=60 %SRC /usr/lib/squid3/ext_session_acl
-t 7200 -b /etc/squid3/session.db
acl new_users external ext_session_acl
deny_info http://nelsonwr.wardroom/test.html new_users
http_access deny !new_users
Hopefully the above is correct. I was a little confused with the helper
rename as of V3.2. The man page at
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.2/manuals/ext_session_acl.html
appears to still use the old configuration example.
I have set the log level to 9, which generates the following entries:

Is this a bug or have I done something wrong?
