Project Detail

Description

A redirector program, written in PHP, for squid cache is required:
Every client PC performing the first connect to squid (IP not found in DB) is automatically presented a "Welcome Screen" instead of requested URL. Same "Welcome Screen" to be automatically presented to client after specified period of time.
Requested URL has to be presented to user after "Welcome Screen" by the means of "Back/Forward Button" of browser etc. Reasonable suggestions welcome.
"Welcome Screen" itself not part of the task. URL of "Welcome Screen" is to be configured.
IP of client to be stored in mySQL DB, to expire automatically after specified period of time.
Simple statistics of number of presentations of "Welcome Screen" to be kept in DB.

Web Interface to modify all parameters, and to display statistics to be developed, too.

All copyrights for code have to be transferred to buyer.
Developer has to provide scripts for DB-creation (mySQL)
Redirector must work with versions 2.5 of squid up to/including 3.0.

Freelancers from Russia or Ukraine preferred.
