Re: test ICAP server

Hi
I wouldn't risk trying to do a production quality one server!

I'm a security tester and I want a way to automatically modify traffic that
I'm sending to and from sites. I've got plenty of other ways to do it, but
as all my testing traffic already goes through a Squid box I just wanted to
have a play to see if I could get it to do simple things like add a new
header or something like that.  When I saw some really simple servers
written in Python and Go I thought it would be a fun bit of learning.

I've just grabbed a copy of c-icap, the build instructions could do with
some work, I've got it built, but it wasn't obvious what needed doing. I'll
have a play, it won't be as flexible as I wanted, but I'll hopefully learn
something, and that might help debug the other servers.
