In the context of this discussion, Squid officially supports HTTP protocol [optionally encrypted using SSL or TLS] only. Unofficially (for now), Squid can also support native FTP requests. All other protocols are not supported. However, please note that there are many protocol "layers". It is difficult to define exactly which layer we are discussing. For example, it is possible to stream video using HTTP requests that wrap around the actual video streaming protocol OR, as Amos said, it is possible to tunnel other protocols through a forward Squid proxy using an HTTP CONNECT request. Hope this clarifies, Alex. >> On 2014-01-13 01:06, m.shahverdi@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: >>> Hi, >>> What does squid do against unsupported request protocols such as audio and >>> video streaming for example RTMP or RTSP? >>> Thanks >> non-HTTP protocols are expected to use the CONNECT tunnel mechanism of > HTTP.
