Hi, I've been trying to set up squid for a variety of reasons, but one is to cache commercials from HULU. HULU takes up a huge portion of my bandwidth. It'd be pointless to try to cache the TV shows since we typically only watch them once (I think they're encrypted anyway), but I'd like to cache the unencrypted commercials since those get played over and over again. The commercials come in as partial content (206 code), so I wrote a little script that grabs the list of videos with a 206 code each night and does a "wget -O /dev/null [full address for video]" to cache the commercials for the next day. This seems to be working just fine. The problem is, it still will not cache the videos (even though it is no longer a partial content request). Can someone help sort me out? (P.S. I'm very much a beginner, so my config file is a result of just copying a lot of stuff off the internet... I'll gladly take suggestions even if its not directly related to the HULU ads.) Thanks in advance for your help! store.log: 1404923465.907 RELEASE -1 FFFFFFFF B493FE4264AFC396D382596A22280AA5 200 1404923474 1403637739 1436459474 video/mp4 12018601/12018601 GET http://ads-v-darwin.hulu.com/published/2014/6/24/7/826d2864_2b05_4dd7_9ced_c9992a1dd04d_12d382_AdsTranscode_16x9_1403420_24623827_H264_3200.mp4 access.log: 1404923465.907 4383 192.168.1.80 TCP_MISS/200 12019050 GET http://ads-v-darwin.hulu.com/published/2014/6/24/7/826d2864_2b05_4dd7_9ced_c9992a1dd04d_12d382_AdsTranscode_16x9_1403420_24623827_H264_3200.mp4 - HIER_DIRECT/8.27.246.254 video/mp4 # ACCESS CONTROLS # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ##
