Another vote for privoxy. You can configure it to block whatever you like based on URL pattern or HTTP headers (e.g. Content-Type), not to mention blocking just cookies, rewriting content (e.g. adding or removing autocomplete="off" in form tags), etc. I think there is even a facility to block images based on dimensions, though I haven't played with it. Unless you need the caching, though, I don't see much value in adding squid to the mix. I've been using privoxy alone for years with great success. > Liam --Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
