Thank you for the answer Bob.
I already have a script in place which can check whether the line is up.
Ofcourse, the nicest way to do it would be to read the diald information
directly from the diald pipe, but it's been way too long since I've done
anything with pipes (I forget a lot in 6 years).
Any way. Getting the line up information I don't think will cause me too
much trouble, but this redirector idea is exactly what I was thinking too.
However, having not ever faced this beastie before I'm a little lost.
Basically - if I understand you correct, this should be the scenario:
1> Client request HTTP page from proxy at port 3128.
2> Redirector examines line status. If not OK, servers up a 'please wait'
message. If OK - jumps to (5).
3> The page the redirector calls up auto-refreshes to the HTTP request after
say 5 seconds or so.
4> Everything loops back to 2.
5> Squid serves up the requested pages.
I have a feeling you're going to tell me I need to install a http server,
and re-direct my client requests to the http server, which can the do the
tricky bits of re-directing if necessary. Or not?
THE LIST IN GENERAL: Ok guys, after reading what I'm trying to do - what FM
do I need to R? lol
