====[ SYNOPSIS ]=====================================================
 
VideoCache is a Squid URL rewriter plugin written in Python for
bandwidth optimization while browsing video sharing websites.  Version
1.9.2 allows a user with the privileges of the Squid proxy server to
append semi-arbitrary data to arbitrary files with root privileges, upon
the administrator's execution of the 'vccleaner' utility.
 
 
====[ DISCUSSION ]===================================================
 
VideoCache's 'vccleaner' utility is intended to be executed with root
permissions periodically, to remove expired videos from the cache.
(The utility will refuse to execute without root permissions.)
Upon execution, it looks for old files under the cache directory
/var/spool/videocache (writable by the Squid proxy user) and deletes
them.  Each deleted filename is logged to vccleaner.log, located in
/var/log/videocache (directory writable by the Squid proxy user).
