Summary : Squid interface for embedded adaptation modules
URL : http://www.e-cap.org/
License : BSD
Description : eCAP is a software interface that allows a network application,
: such as an HTTP proxy or an ICAP server, to outsource content
: analysis and adaptation to a loadable module. For each applicable
: protocol message being processed, an eCAP-enabled host application
: supplies the message details to the adaptation module and gets
: back an adapted message, a "not interested" response, or a "block
: this message now!" instruction. These exchanges often include
: message bodies.
:
: The adaptation module can also exchange meta-information with the
: host application to supply additional details such as
: configuration options, a reason behind the decision to ignore a
: message, or a detected virus name.
:
: If you are familiar with the ICAP protocol (RFC 3507), then you
: may think of eCAP as an "embedded ICAP", where network
: interactions with an ICAP server are replaced with function calls
: to an adaptation module.
