RE: How to do disable client caching ( Internet Expoloer ) in Reverse proxy mode ?

I would try operating the origin website on SSL, (or try running Squid
as an HTTP -> HTTPS bridge - but probably too complicated). I believe
that if content is delivered by SSL, it is not cached by the browser in
a way that is readable...

Just my 2c worth...

Why do you want to? If it's to stop people from being able to copy the
files, you'll fail. Otherwise...

Squid can only remove headers, to the best of my knowledge. To add them,
you need to do it on the origin server. You say you're using squid as a
reverse proxy, so you'll need to configure your web server to set the
appropriate HTTP headers when serving .flv files; you can't use HTML
<meta> tags, they need to be real HTTP headers.
(I'm guessing .flv files don't have anywhere to put such things, but it
seems like a fairly safe guess.)

Even with this done, it's posible MSIE will still save the files as part
of how it operates internally. I'm not certain about that, though.
