[K12OSN] Enhancement to squidGuard package to force Google's SafeSearchfeature to be ON

[Matthew Ross]

Ha!

Well, I was having lots of trouble getting this to work. Your patch 
worked fine, everything built fine... it installed fine... but it just 
wouldn't go. I was tairing my hair out.

So, I was reading around, and found that the correct action for a 
redirector is either to return the redirected URL, or return a blank 
line if the current URL is to be untouched.

There's where my problem was. I was already using AdZapper, and I just 
added a second "redirect_program" line for squidGuard. Squidguard was 
getting blank lines to redirect. No wonder it didn't work! (Bangs head 
on keyboard)

Well, thanks again. I'll be spending some time figuring out how to run 
adzapper along side squidGuard, or just drop adzapper altogether.
