Firstly, Check the webserver is providing the proper Cache-Control, and/or Expires headers that allow caching. Secondly, If you are using the default squid.conf settings: acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? cache deny QUERY that will prevent anything with a dynamic query-string from being cached. You maybe want to use something like: acl Servlet urlpath_regex videoServlet\? cache allow Servlet ahead of that default config line. Amos > Thank you. >
