[squid-users] R: [squid-users] Squid 2.7 port on Windows scenario

Hi,

From the provided release notes about Windows limitations:

    * DISKD: still needs to be ported
    * WCCP: cannot work because user space GRE support on Windows is missing
    * Transparent Proxy: missing Windows non commercial interception driver
    * Some code sections can make blocking calls.
    * Some external helpers may not work.
    * File Descriptors number hard-limited to 2048.

So, you cannot do transparent proxy on Windows.
