Hi Chris,

    Welcome and thank you for the patch!

The SMP project is already on the wish list and we are looking for
co-sponsors. Please see http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/SmpScale

HTTP/1.1 client side support has many small and big to-do items, of
course. Some of them depend on the client-side code restructuring
project, but some can be done in the current mess. For example, we have
just made a hack to support most chunked requests. More patches are
welcome, of course.

Please start planning your migration to Squid3. It would be insane to
work on SMP and ICAP/eCAP in Squid2, IMO. Squid3 will have decent disk
cache in v3.2 so now is a good time to make sure your other ducks are in
a row.

Thank you,

Alex.
