Hello again, I liked the idea of what you did and especially you are using Perl - ReadBackwards Module . Squid is writing a new log and only logging \.youtube\.com requests or adding 2 links on the same line and then you create a subroutine perl to get the returned 2 parameters .. (V/docid/video_id) & cpn .......etc . It only writes the video_id when the id does not starts with o-[a-zA-Z0-9-_] which is being written into cache as is , but i solved it by rewriting the whole videoplayback url without ([&?]range=[^&]*) , ([&?]ratebypass=[a-z]*) and also changed the [&?]vq=auto to medium or large just to get rid of the auto rate due to the slow connection. did you check it with ranges if the id starts with "o-" ?. What else youtube would do in the future .. changing the video ID or keep everything hidden?. I liked the idea of what you did and congratulations :-). Thank you so much Ghassan
