Whether it's get cached is unrelated to the redirector story; it depends
on the freshness parameters of the particular object being fetched
by squid from the remote webserver :
http://www.ircache.net/cgi-bin/cacheability.py
I see what you're indicating now. So if the ultimate redirect "should
be cacheable" (according to caching law!) then it will be cached by
Squid?
So why am i not seeing that behaviour with the redirector?
M.
The default squid.conf file contains the following lines:
acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
no_cache deny QUERY
Which states that URL path containing either the string "cgi-bin" or a
question mark (?) will not be cached. Usually that's a safe bet, as
both contain dynamic content that is not guaranteed to have freshness
information included. Either comment out the default no_cache line or
add lines like...
acl mysite dstdomain .server.com
acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
no_cache allow mysite
no_cache deny QUERY
...to specify that all requests in the domain server.com should be
eligible for caching. I'm not certain the second option will work, but
it's worth a try...
