Hey, The answer to all of your questions is very simple. Squid caches http objects identified by the url and the headers. the vlc request seems like a 206 partial content request and response. the only way to cache this kind of object now in squid is to first cache the whole file while serving chunks of it. I havn't seen the whole headers but I think it might be the source of the problem. If you can take a small peek at the windows update section of the wiki on caching 206 responses you will probably get the answer.. I think it's the smartest way to cache 206 content for reverse proxy but for forward proxy it's another story. http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/WindowsUpdate#How_do_I_make_Windows_Updates_cache.3F Eliezer On 09/18/2013 07:32 AM, susu wrote: > Hi Eliezer, > > Thank you for your reply.
