Thanks! I meant if Squid can cache Android installs? I am deploying 10+
new Android devices and wanted to cache the OS

Hey Jhon,

This subject is not so simple and requires some kind of investigation of both the Android and the Web side of the picture. If indeed all Android devices updates are being done using HTTP or HTTPS you might have some chance of doing something with it but I have really high doubts about it.

You cannot actually cache the OS... these are coming from firmwares and some of the have propitiatory parts which might encourage these Android devices manufactures to guard from tampering and caching.

Depends on your 10+ Android devices you will probably have better luck contacting the devices manufacturer or reseller to find the best way to apply updates with minimum Internet bandwidth\usage.

Some of the Android resellers are pretty sane to understand that in the case of high Internet bandwidth\usage costs such as satellite or other wan connections, and give\provide(maybe with some price) the option to update these devices "offline" and leaving the devices use online updates for minor updates.
