Re: [squid-users] Fwd: Squid and large object

This is down to a cost-benefit analysis.

Does the current icap implementation cost more than the benefits of
the security it brings?

Or
Would a little less security but more convenient functionality be
better or worse?
If better, would the costs of implementing that functionality be
greater or less than benefits derived?

A system which delivered the data to the client slower than the data
received, and performed periodic checks as well as a check when data
download complete may have a better cost-benefit trade-off.

Inconvenient security can become insecure as users will look for ways
to bypass the security.
