--- Begin Message --- Hi Robert. Sorry for disturbing you.  Actually i am trying to send a query to squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx since yesterday but each time it return with a "Failure Notice". Can you help if you find some free time?

I got your email ID from the recent conversation you had on the same mailing list. So Sorry for that.

Following is the query by the way if you want to answer it :)

Question:
Does Squid offer content caching?

Explanation:

I want to know if Squid has the ability to cache objects like YouTube videos, or documents (.pdf, .doc, .ppt etc) so that once a user sees a YouTube video or download some document, it may be cached. Now, if some other user tries to access that video or document, then it may be downloaded or served to him/her from the server where it was cached instead of asking the original server again for the same video or document.

I have studied a little about Squid which showed me that may be Squid only offers caching of Web pages and not the other content. Examples of the content I want to be cached has been described earlier.

Thanks

It would cause them to come to the list.
