Raw message 

However, trying to keep this data requires effort to continue to keep the
packaging working with newer squid versions, and also for significant work
in the squid reports (matching squid lines to Grase user sessions). This
poll is about Version 4 of the hotspot, not the current 3.8 branch.

I'm also concerned with many people who don't understand the difference,
and then ask me why it's not showing that they visited Google, Youtube,
Facebook etc. Many people don't understand why very little appears in the
logs anymore. I actually see many sessions at a cafe hotspot, where the
entire session is HTTPS. There is not a single domain in the HTTP logs.
