No. 3.0 is in the release process now, 3.1 at the earliest will be next year. > Is there any other proxy (and that can me sent to me > directly) that do offer this feature ? Not that I'm aware of, although apache mod_gzip + mod_proxy may do this. > It really can save a lot of bandwidth and time for > dial-up users so please consider adding this as soon > as possible. It's been implemented before in the TE branch on devel.squid-cache.org by Patrick McManus, and then enhanced by me to support proxy-proxy compression as well. However, severe logic problems prevented stabilisation of this feature in the 2.x codebase. Thats why it's slated for a 3.x release. If you will find it valuable, you might consider sponsoring (alone or as a group of interested folk) a squid developer to implement it for 3.x. I'd be happy to discuss this with you..
