I'm working in PC Repair service company. We are of course loading often drivers, utilities, updates etc from manufacturer webpages (Acer, Lenovo, Fujitsu-Siemens, etc). Since we are on limited connection and we want to speed up downloads, we want to use squid to cache those files. So you need to download each file only once. We are building up a server for this so CPU/RAM/DISK won't be a problem. I have had a quick test with Squid and have found it working well. However, I am having problem with manufacturers, which does not have hard-coded http/ftp url, but dynamic pages which are "streaming" file to the browser. One problematic is Fujitsu-Siemens. When I am downloading drivers from Lenovo, they work fine, since they are using "normal" urls, for example: http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/1rg807ww.exe But I am unable to cache downloaded drivers and software from Fujitsu-Siemens pages. For example, when downloading this file: http://support.fujitsu-siemens.com/Download/ShowDescription.asp?SoftwareGUID =50AD6EEC-53F0-4B6E-9C13-53E2CB51D36B&OSID=DD13C337-8EFF-4CFB-A589-72971D7BC BCE&Status=True&Component=Flash%20Bios%20for%20AMILO%20Pro%20V8210 It will show up in squid access.log like this: -- 1190578174.875 1422 192.168.11.5 TCP_MISS/200 22284 GET http://support.fujitsu-siemens.com/Download/ShowDescription.asp? - DIRECT/80.70.172.14 text/html 1190578176.921 765 192.168.11.5 TCP_MISS/302 646 POST http://support.fujitsu-siemens.com/Download/Download.asp - DIRECT/80.70.172.14 text/html 1190578177.093 172 192.168.11.5 TCP_MISS/302 1090 GET http://support.fujitsu-siemens.com/Download/StreamFileToBrowser.asp? - DIRECT/80.70.172.14 text/html 1190578184.078 6985 192.168.11.5 TCP_MISS/200 1263991 GET http://support.fujitsu-siemens.com/download/FileDownload/fileDownload.aspx? - DIRECT/80.70.172.14 application/octet-stream -- I cannot figure out how to tell Squid to cache that content. :( Is that possible at all? Happy for assistance, Alexander
