I was just over at a customer's office who uses WinProxy 3 with NT on a
dial-up connection. If you go to a site (which dials the modem to bring up
the link), WinProxy displays a nice HTML message 'Please wait while
connecting to internet. Once in, the page is grabbed and everything is go.
On other customer's Linux boxes I have set up with diald and Squid, IE sits
and vegetates with a little message in the status bar (detecting proxy
settings). Nowhere near as nice.
How would I go about tackling (if at all possible - probly not), for Squid
to show a temp page like this while it waits for PPP to come up? I assume
Squid wasn't built for this, but maybe some clever scripting? Any thoughts?
I don't personally care for myself, but for green customers it would be
nice, as I don't have to answer the 'What's happening now?' and 'It looks
like IE's frozen' questions.
TIA
