For example access to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLSFcF8SOiw
with an entry in the url_regex-whitelist like this:
youtube.com/watch?v=aLSFcF8SOiw
This does not work, I get no access to the video. I´ve now seen, that if I
access to youtube, the log entry in the access log only contains a shot url
without the ID of the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v
After I´ve deleted the Video-ID in the whitlist, the access to the whole
youtube-site works, so the whitelist and the configuration of squid works.
Has anyone an idea, why squid ignores the video-ID in urls, even in the
access.log ?
maybe you have strip_query_terms on...
Or the regex match is doing what you configured instead of what you want.
"?" and "." are a reserved characters in regex code syntax.
... "." code will be replaced with any character, so it will match
text-"." silently and appear to be working even when unrelated problems
are caused.
... "?" code will compact down to nothing. So will not match a URL
containing text-"?" at the same position.
Also, the youtube "watch?" URLs are just human usable short links. The
real video is at a completely different URL.
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/DynamicContent/YouTube has
more background on that.
