eCAP

Does Squid+ecap work with IPV6 ?

Asked by Danny

I am newbies to IPV6 protocol stack. All I am aware that since IPV6 traffic is encrypted with mandatory IPSEC. Does this affect Squid+ecap for content filtering ?

For example Http-Request header adding/removal or Http-Response body text filtering.

Thanks for your attention.

eCAP is IP-agnostic. There are no IP addresses in any eCAP APIs. It will work with HTTP over IPv6 if the host application supports that combination. Squid does support it.

BTW, I do not think you are interpreting IPSEC meaning correctly. IPSEC does not encrypt HTTP "payload".

Thank a lot Alex. IPSEC is at layer3(Internet Layer). This clear my doubt. Thanks.
