Appendix F. Configuring Squid Clients

This appendix contains information on setting up various browsers and user-agents to use Squid. Although it is more extensively covered in my O'Reilly book Web Caching, I'll include some brief instructions here.

I have instructions for the following HTTP user-agents: Internet Explorer v6, Konqueror v3, Lynx v2.8, Netscape v7 a.k.a. Mozilla v5, Opera v7, libwww-perl v5, Python's urllib/urllib2, and Wget v1.8. If you think this is all a huge hassle, consider using HTTP interception, as described in Chapter 9.
