Re: Blocking Skype

That has nothing to do with the proposed configuration. No serious squid 
implementation would have a standard ACL list, so every serious admin 
would rewrite them. And if you are serious you have some sort of 
convention for names. His was obviously "connect" instead of "CONNECT", 
like ours is "Connect". The proposal was none the less correct for it.

I would nevertheless to case matching in actual configs.

No, the "connect" was certainly not a typo. But indeed the "http access" 
was.

Do you mean "I'm sure it will break a lot of other things, but skype 
too.", or "I'm sure it will break a lot of other things but skype."?  I 
guess we all mak typos :>)

> BTW: I'm sure, it will break a lot of other things but skype, too.
That was pointed out first by the original poster himself. And I agree 
with him that most of those "other things" are likely intentional too. 
If indeed legitimate sites are found to be hindered I would prefer to 
make explicit ACL entries for those, or notify the remote admin we are 
unfortunately not able to access their website.
