Hello Eliezer, Are you trying to save all video chunks into same parts or capture / download the whole video object through CURL or whatever! but i dont think it should work since it will occure an error with the new Youtube Player. What I have reached lately is saving same youtube video chunks that has youtube 360p itag=34 ,480p itag=35 without saving its itag since i want to save more bandwidth (thats why i only wrote scripts to you as an example) which means if someone wants to watch 480p then he would get the cached 360p contents thats why i didnt add the itag but if he thought of watching 720p and above then another script would catch it matching ITAG 37 , 22 ... I know that is not the best solution but at least its working pretty well with no erros at all as long as the client can always fast forward . Im using Squid 2.7 Stable9 compiled on windows 64-bit with PERL x64. Regarding the 302 Redirection .. I have made sure to update the source file client_side.c to fix the loop 302 Redirection but really I dont have to worry now about anything so what is your target regarding Youtube with argument Range and whats the problem till now ? I have RAID with 5 HDD and the average HTTP Requests per minute : 2732.6 and because I want to save more bandwidth I try to analyze HTTP Requests so i can always update my perl script to match most wanted websites targetting Videos , Mp3 etc. For a second I thought of maybe someone would help to compile an intelligent external helper script that would capture the whole byte-range and I know it is really hard to do that since we are dealing with byte-range. I only have one question that is always teasing me .. what are the comnparison between SQUID and BLUE COAT so is it because it is a hardware perfromance or just it has more tricks to cache everything and reach a maximum ratio ?
