Hey All, It's my understanding that squid decides on its own what files to cache and it does this when multiple different clients request those files. I have an unusual use case, where I want to specify a list of urls where the files are always cached. This means after the first request the files on those URLs would be cached by Squid, subject to the HTTP caching rules of course. Please note, it has been suggested that we should use refresh_pattern directives to accomplish this, but our understanding of this function is that allows us to override the caching rules in http headers, but does not allow us force an immediate download of objects into the cache. Any thoughts or input on this? I'm open to a custom extension to squid if that is what we need to do to accomplish this. Thanks! - Gregory Gregory Morse gmorse@xxxxxxxxxxxx
