History
ICAP was proposed in late 1999 by Peter Danzig and John Schuster from Network Appliance. Don Gillies took over the project in the spring of 2000 and enhanced the protocol to allow pipelined ICAP servers and to support all 3 encapsulations of HTTP allowed by HTTP 1.1. Gillies also prototyped the first ICAP client and server for the NetCache series of internet caches in mid-2000 and produced training materials for vendors. The first demonstration ICAP Server was written in Perl and employed the Debian word-replacement filters to rewrite web pages, skipping over the HTML tags, and translate web pages into "swedish chef" or "jive" in real time.
