Hi! So maybe some insight into our ICAP application: It essentially acts as a proxy for mobile carriers (for handling MSISDNs and such) and has a similar functionality as some of those simple anonymizing proxies: * it takes a request for http://a.b.c/www.squid-cache.org/default.css * and the icap request-mod translates it to http://www.squid-cache.org/default.css * then squid does the request * then back to ICAP for response-modifications - modify the relevant links for images in the css or html,... * then squid deliver it to the device So we are running the following request: $ curl -vvv --proxy 127.0.0.1:80 http://a.b.c/ www.squid-cache.org/default.css * About to connect() to proxy 127.0.0.1 port 80 (#0) * Trying 127.0.0.1... connected * Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 80 (#0) > GET http://a.b.c/www.squid-cache.org/default.css HTTP/1.1 > User-Agent: curl/7.19.7 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 NSS/3.14.0.0 zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.4.2 > Host: a.b.c > Accept: */* > Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive > % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0< HTTP/1.1 200 OK < Content-Type: text/css < ETag: "1ea3a1f-e02-4557f2cff9ec0" < Last-Modified: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 06:23:31 GMT < Content-Length: 3586 < Accept-Ranges: bytes < Server: Apache/2.2.17 (FreeBSD) mod_ssl/2.2.17 OpenSSL/0.9.8q DAV/2 SVN/1.6.15 PHP/5.3.3 with Suhosin-Patch < Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2013 09:46:14 GMT < Vary: Accept-Encoding < X-Cache: MISS from a.b.c < X-Cache-Lookup: MISS from a.b.c:3128 < Via: internet < Connection: keep-alive < { [data not shown] We have executed this for the following versions of squid: * 3.1.19 - works with caching * 3.1.23 - works with caching * 3.2.1 - no caching * 3.2.7 - no caching * 3.2.13 - no caching Also the config has 2 ports open: 80 - reverse proxy only 3128 - for use as a general proxy as well so if we run a request like this first: $curl -vvv --proxy 127.0.0.1:3128 http://www.squid-cache.org/default.css > /dev/null Then the subsequent: $ curl -vvv --proxy 127.0.0.1:80 http://a.b.c/www.squid-cache.org/default.css Delivers as HIT and does NOT pass thru response-modification phase again. This means the image URLS are not modified in the css...

Juni 2013 18:37 To: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Squid icap respmod is not caching Let say that on 3.2.0.1X it was working for me with ICAP respmod on with youtube videos so it's not a RESPMOD problem unless... There was a change in some of squid internals. on squid 3.3 if i'm not wrong somebody told me that youtube caching works but I have never seen that someone used my RESPMOD "no-store" option so I am not 100% sure about it. can you share the debug_options ALL,3 to understand what is going on? What are you using ICAP for?
