RE: [squid-users] ftp receive buffer size?

Please do not misunderstand me. The problem is just with the nature of
Squid being primarily an http proxy/Cache server not an FTP. The best
way to do FTP in Squid is through a web browser. My 2 cents. The reading
of a fixed data size ?
"can't say impossible" but tuff.

Maybe there are other FTP proxy's that allow you to do that. But I am
not familiar with them.

but in my case it's necessary (user has disabled ftp connect, so the
only way for him to use ftp server -- is http gateway). Is it really
unconfigurable option in squid? Probably I can 'fix' something in source
code... but reading 300 KB of data on first 10 KB request is not right!
