I'm setting up SquidNT 2.6STABLE14 using a fresh config on a Windows

mainly because there are several other programs installed on the server
and it keep the folder list clean, they're all within this directory.
However, when I try to start the service I get the following:
FATAL: Bungled squid.conf line 1072: cache_dir ufs "D:/Program
Files/squid/var/cache" 2000 16 256
Now, I assume this is due to spaces in the directory path which I
thought the quotes would resolve.
You probably assume correct.
Can this be made to work in a configuration where there are spaces in
the directory names?
You could, with a lot of code. Squid uses strtok([whitespace]) to parse
each line, that is (sadly) buried into every module that has a
squid.conf item.
So quotes don't generally mean a thing to squid, nor do [\ ]'s.
I'm not to up on the parsing in windows, but it might be possible in
your case to use the %...% win32 default path variables. It would be
easier to add code for those at certain places than change the parser to
cope with spaces.
