Hi all, I've branched off trunk to start merging the work we've extensively discussed in the past month into Squid.
The feature branch is at https://code.launchpad.net/~kinkie/squid/stringng The previous codebase at lp:~kinkie/squid/string-ng-sandbox remains mostly as a changelog placeholder; its outcome has been placed in include/SBuf.h (to be split into .cc and .cci); I'll update the blueprint at http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/BetterStringBuffer Real Soon Now (tm). -- /kinkie
