Pushing revisited: PUT

--MimeMultipartBoundary
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Hi,

I'm once again working on Squid cluster design, and how the cluster
machines could push objects onto each other. I realize that my initial
effort earlier this year was quite convoluted and silly. :-)

Now I realize something simpler: support for the PUT protocol. I would
like squid to accept PUTs for objects to store objects in its cache, from
hosts controlled by ACLs, of course.

Once the cache that does the pushing gets a GET from its client, it opens
a PUT to the pushee, and copies the data between the two connections. To
avoid redundant use of space, we can opt to do a delete-behind on the
pushed object.

Your thoughts on this?
I would like to implement it if practical.
