This post was just in place since I wanted to add a section to the
StoreID wiki.
StoreID is great but it gives a limited functionality.
Any site that present ETAG in the response breaks the StoreID functionality.
I have tested in the last couple weeks more then one site with a custom
StoreID helper and it seems that since squid recreates the object
HASH\STOREID it makes the StoreID helper decision useless.
I was considering the options to solve the issue in the past but nothing
has been done until now.
Alex mentioned the option to Give ICAP the option to return a StoreID
based on the response from the service.
I can see couple issues with this approach since on any ICAP response
for a RESPMOD the body part is important and an integral part of the answer.
So even if someone claims to cache some sites with StoreID some sites
cannot be de-duplicated using StoreID until some patches will be applied
to squid.

"Squid" is a proxy for general Internet usage. Hard-coding into it
logics to cache one specific website, which may change at any time and
break that code, it is not appropriate.
There are still people offering Squid extensions that do YT caching.
They have kind of gone underground again once it became clear that every
time anyone documented in public how to cache the videos YT developers
would suddenly change how the system worked and break that method of
caching.
FYI: SquidVideosBooster is one product that offers video caching
extensions to Squid if you are looking for one. You will need to combine
it with ssl-bump usage.
