It's up to you to decide and both are 'supported' and documented on the
havp website.
Usually i use HAVP as a parent proxy for Squid because squid can use
authentication programs (like ntlm that i use a lot in M$ networks) and
can handle blacklist, ACLs etc ... so squid does all the job and havp is
just used one step further just for the antivirus stuff ....
On the other hand, every is logged in squid log file and i can genereate
reports easily with sarg (also available in the rpmforge repo )

Thanks a lot. Having kept SQUID in front of HAVP, I now run HAVP as a PARENT PROXY as SQUID CAN HANDLE MANY THINGS. This is the first time I use HAVP and am happy the way it works. But I am still new to HAVP. So I wnat to discuss below 3 lines I have added to squid.conf.

First I addedd below line to squid.conf and restarted squid deamon.

cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 8080 0 no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange default

Then I browsed the web and it worked.

Then I added below 2 lines to squid.conf and restarted squid deamon as well.

acl Scan_HTTP proto HTTP
never_direct allow Scan_HTTP

Then too, I browsed the web and it worked. Now I have these 2 rules as well. But I don not have a proper idea of these 2 rules.

What does it say?

Is there any benifit, while having these 2 rules?

pls explain.
