RE: Caching downloaded files from dynamic pages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thank you for an answer and for the tip, however, that didn't get me far.

I enabled DynamicContent with the instructions, so my squid.conf looks like
this:

---
#caching Fujitsu-Siemens
acl fujitsusiemens dstdomain .fujitsu-siemens.com
cache allow fujitsusiemens
#stop everything else
hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ?
acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
cache deny QUERY 

---

And even though my store.log displays, that it actually saved something
(filesize matches, 1263443 bytes), I cannot find the file and all downloads
from Fujitsu-Siemens are coming from their site, not from squid (=slow and
eating bandwith).

Snap from store.log:
---

http://support.fujitsu-siemens.com/download/FileDownload/fileDownload.aspx?

More good hints or ideas what I should try?

Alexander

This should help a little. Although if they add a UID to the query string
content still may be fetched directly.
