the big guys such as bluecoat? or other squid users?
i think bluecoat have some business contact with youtube and also they
do have a very powerful framework and a lot of resources.
many other squid users are using "cachevideo" that is using the
"url_rewite" option of squid.
icap can do many things but the problem is that you must program
something on icap.
i have used icap server "greasyspoon".
it can user java ruby and javascripts on any request and response.
i have tried to implement dynamic content caching that combines the icap
server but i need more programing knowledge to do whatever i wanted so i
stopped working on it.
if someone is up to the mission i think a lot of people will like it.

Eliezer

Hi Marcus, thanks for reply.
I just came to know from you about the ICAP solution.
As far as I get it, it will adapt the content so the SQUID can cache it
itself, by making the dynamic stuff in appropriate way so that squid can
consume it as non dynamic? Is that right?
The best argument to use an ICAP-based solution is that it is
powerful. It will be able to undo all tricks that content providers
use to make content uncacheable.
I was thinking about a solution that will stay aside the squid, and will
deal with dynamic content, that's why I was thinking about connecting
this
with cache peer to a squid. The squid will deal with the static
content and
whatever is good for.
I'm also expecting someone from the squid team to also suggest some
way of
proper doing it....
