Hello. I was looking at a post (how to force windos update to cache all update) from a week ago that was trying to cache all windowsupdates. I was looking into utilizing thundercache that does exactly that, I'm using videocache and can't get both (thundercache and videocache) to work together. After reading the post I decided to use squid to cache windows updates but, don't know if I'm doing it correctly since I haven't copy the refresh_patterns from the post. I actually followed the http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/WindowsUpdate wiki. I would also like to cache antivirus' updates and the content from the most visited sites: hi5, facebook, etc.... I would like to cache everything if possible. Looking at my access.log file I notice that content I thought it was supposed to be cached is not getting cached for example: 1266160859.409 146 172.16.100.61 TCP_REFRESH_UNMODIFIED/304 382 GET http://col.stb.s-msn.com/i/98/996247A8EF5F5991FCD8AACF6528F.jpg - DIRECT/65.54.81.185 image/jpeg 1266160859.421 148 172.16.100.61 TCP_REFRESH_UNMODIFIED/304 382 GET http://col.stb.s-msn.com/i/FA/E1B3F9B5667878F033D4C68A911AFD.jpg - DIRECT/65.54.81.209 image/jpeg 1266160859.660 168 172.16.100.61 TCP_MISS/200 2273 GET http://a.rad.msn.com/ADSAdClient31.dll? - DIRECT/65.55.197.125 text/html 1266160859.865 100 172.16.100.61 TCP_MISS/200 419 GET http://b.scorecardresearch.com/r? - DIRECT/204.2.241.162 image/gif 1266160861.376 123 172.16.100.61 TCP_REFRESH_UNMODIFIED/304 306 GET http://col.stc.s-msn.com/br/gbl/css/6/decoration/pipe.gif - DIRECT/4.23.59.126 - 1266160861.387 289 172.16.100.45 TCP_MISS/200 415 GET http://0.channel53.facebook.com/p - DIRECT/69.63.178.123 text/plain 1266160862.600 0 172.16.100.45 TCP_MISS/000 0 GET http://0.channel53.facebook.com/p - DIRECT/0.channel53.facebook.com - 1266160865.819 0 172.16.100.18 TCP_MISS/000 0 GET http://sn120w.snt120.mail.live.com/mail/SafeRedirect.aspx? - DIRECT/sn120w.snt120.mail.live.com - 1266160872.391 146 172.16.254.1 TCP_MISS/200 319 GET http://www.kottke.org/frontpage/updates/index.php? - DIRECT/67.18.227.74 text/html 1266160872.647 136 172.16.100.61 TCP_REFRESH_UNMODIFIED/304 264 GET http://col.stb.s-msn.com/i/50/832D93022C9184EBE368DD81A3874.jpg - DIRECT/65.54.81.209 image/jpeg 1266160873.653 346 172.16.100.16 TCP_MISS/200 1119 GET http://www.facebook.com/ajax/presence/reconnect.php? - DIRECT/69.63.189.11 application/x-javascript 1266160874.001 199591 172.16.100.99 TCP_MISS/200 4303656 GET http://streamer.soundclick.com/jarry_lo/14/06/freemp3/mamajuana+ajudemedeus.mp3 - DIRECT/8.14.112.23 audio/x-mpegurl 1266160876.884 270 172.16.100.99 TCP_MISS/200 651 GET http://w88.go.com/b/ss/wdgespcom,wdgespge/1/H.17/s73739908562219? - DIRECT/66.235.138.18 image/gif 1266160877.214 198 172.16.100.110 TCP_MISS/200 5516 GET http://www.myhotcomments.com/graphics/53933 - DIRECT/75.126.132.34 text/html Here's my squid.conf file.
