Another idea is to exploit RFC 3230, Instance Digests in HTTP. Given a
response with a "Location: ..." header and a "Digest: ..." header, if
the "Location: ..." URL isn't already cached then the proxy checks the

..." header with the cached URL if found
I am working on a proof of concept plugin for Apache Traffic Server as
part of the Google Summer of Code. The code is up on GitHub [2]
If this is a reasonable approach, would it be difficult to build
something similar for Squid?
Please contact Alex Rousskov at measurement-factory.com, he was
organising a project to develop Digest handling and de-duplication this
a while back.
Thank you Amos for this info, I will definitely contact Alex Rousskov
