They claim the patch works great and they haven't released it yet b/c
squid 3.0 is in feature freeze. One of the engineers there told me they
are going to release it under the GPL once Squid 3.1 begins.

But they are asking for $400 to gain access to the pre-release patch.

So in theory it already exist and will be apart of Squid 3.1 very soon
but who knows if these guys are for real. I was really hoping people on
this list would know who they were...
