wouldn't be better if we save the video chunks ? youtube is streaming
files with 1.7MB flv chunks, youtube flash player knows how to merge
them and play them....so the range start and end will alaways be the
same for the same video as long as user doesn't fast forward it or do
something nasty...even in that case , squid will just cache that
chunk...that is possible by rewriting the STORE_URL and including the
range start&  end

i have written a small ruby store_url_rewrite that works with range argument in the url.
(on the bottom of this mail)

it's written in ruby and i took some of andre work at
http://youtube-cache.googlecode.com

it's not such a fancy script and ment only for this specific youtube problem.

i know that youtube didnt changed the this range behavior for the whole globe cause as for now i'm working from a remote location that still has no "range" at all in the url.
so in the same country you can get two different url patterns.

this script is not cpu friendly (uses more the same amount of regex lookups always) but it's not what will bring your server down!!!

this is only a prototype and if anyone wants to add some more domains and patterns i will be more then glad to make this script better then it's now.

this is one hell of a regex nasty script and i could have used the uri and cgi libs in order to make the script more user friendly but i choose to just build the script skeleton and move on from there using the basic method and classes of ruby.

the idea of this script is to extract each of the arguments such as id itag and ragne one by one and to not use one regex to extract them all because there are couple of url structures being used by youtube.

if someone can help me to reorganize this script to allow it to be more flexible for other sites with numbered cases per site\domain\url_structure i will be happy to get any help i can.

planned for now to be added into this scripts are:
source forge catch all download mirrors into one object
imdb HQ (480P and up) videos
vimeo videos

if more then just one man will want:
bliptv
some of facebook videos
some other images storage sites.

if you want me to add anything to my "try to cache" list i will be help to hear from you on my e-mail.
