Either way, it's a shame as when this works, it's really impressive. I guess we're reaching the point where more and more features need to be moved somewhere else. It was bound to happen eventually, but it still makes me a little sad.Or, it does get started automatically, but crashes quickly enough that launchd kills the job.I saw this happen on Intel Leopard (and Intel Tiger).
While I am happy we have 104fox, it still feels slow even with the adjustments made using Eyoungen’s new preferences.
Thanks! Okay, I'm going to conclude then that Squid 4 never actually worked on Leopard (PPC or Intel), at least not well enough for general use.
Definitely better to run the proxy on a different machine.Remember, networking is the process of connecting multiple computers together. Your router is responsible for forwarding packets, and your ISP (by default) is responsible for domain name resolution. And it's only because of all the data centers spread around the world that there are any websites to connect to in the first place.
I mean you're not wrong, but now you're making me wish I could hand HTTPS handling to my router. But it's not that advanced, and I don't have much in the way of low power computers that could do this sort of thing.
Sadly, I don't think they do. Squid 4 has the ability to automatically download intermediate certificates as needed, like a web browser does, whereas Squid 3 cannot. See: https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Config...umpExplicit#Missing_intermediate_certificates.
That's the root CA, it's already included with the package. (Specifically, I got it from https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html—as noted in the readme, you'll want to redownload and replace this once every couple of years, should I ever drop off the face of the earth.)
certificate-fetching in squid.conf.
Will this also work on OS 9, so I can use internet on 9, or is this only for Leopard ?
Does Mac OS 9 support https proxies? If it does, you can actually use Squid with Mac OS 9, just not on the same computer.
sslproxy_cert_error deny all to sslproxy_cert_error allow all.
That's what i was thinking. Browsing on decade / decade and a half old OS's with out of date browsers isn't a show stopper around here.
Ok, I am going to attempt to install Squid on Snow Leopard which is on my Mac Pro. I will then try it and let you know. But all I know is i TRIED to install legacy-ppc Squid and it did not work on Mojave, so I am certain maybe Snow Leopard it work will. I let you know.
Because thats for PPC Leopard only. You need to install the Intel version.
Ok, I installed Squid in Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro - Firefox now works and safari now works.. However, Leopard under PPC on my PowerBook G4 is not working. Is there a fix for this ?
ok, I apologize for that. I was just frustrated, though under Snow Leopard old safari is working with squid - not too sure if LWK will work under snow leopard. Even Firefox under SL is now allowing Wikipedia to load. I am waiting for a result in Leopard on the PPC side.
Ok, so I installed the Intel version I believe 4.0 or something like that under Snow Leopard - Firefox is able to load Wikipedia and 68kmla.org with no issues. It also stays connected. But, so far with legacy-ppc squid the proxy shuts off automatically when I try to load other sites using LWK. It’s hard to picture it, but when I goto www.eBay.com using LWK, the site locks up and I have to reboot to get the proxy running again. With your browsers I have no issues at all.
Agreed ! It’s not the PowerPC Macs fault that they can’t be taken on line, the fault is in the part of why the internet got go complicated - it went from simple page rendering with little to no ads, to full blown bloatmess that these are causing issues with the processor and architecture - or it could mean, that we should move to Linux where things will run better. How much longer will Leopard continue to be useful for us ? So in answer to your post, PPC Macs can handle it, just not under the load of Leopard and that all ready takes up
I apologize for that message - was just upset, but the reality is internet standards are what is hurting PPC Macs from browsing the internet - under archive.com and trying to go back to 2000 where the internet was much cleaner and pages loaded fast on our PPC Macs, seems we traded good clean HTML for bloat which is why the internet today is so so bad - sign all the ads, the pop ups, etc - these all use machine resources where the G4 and G5 can’t handle it. I would like to see a better internet one day without all the bloat and JavaScript which is making browsing HTTP on any PPC Mac horrible. No way a 2.5 quad G5 can’t handle today’s internet. When I saw how the internet was back in 2000’s, it was so much better ! I remember in 2005 up to 2010, I could even browse most sites on PPC and even using OS 9. Now, it’s all a distant memory.
