Sorry,who can tell me how i can get an overview of squid.It is a complex
giant project to a tyro like me.
The beginning of the programmers guide tries to give a overview of the
main components.
Is there someone have a idea of squid's archtecture?
Yes.
or tell me what i can do.I have read the Programmers Guide but failed to
grasp the main points.
The main points you need to grasp are:
- Cooperative multitasking by callback events. Instead of waiting for
something to happen callbacks is used to signal that a certain event has
taken place; network data available, DNS lookup completed, helper has
returned answer etc...
- The existence of the main select loop, where most callbacks gets
registered to get called when there is activity on a network connection.
Then from there is a number of different subcomponents to look at
depending on what part interest you most.
