We have embedded Vimeo videos on a site accessible only to logged in users. Because of different firewalls, using different types of blocks, the videos sometimes do not work for the client. Aside from cases where the firewall blocks any video streaming, we want to serve video to clients that have Vimeo blocked (by IP or DNS) via this setup: 1. our application detects Vimeo is being blocked 2. tells the browser to load up a different player 3. this new player loads every needed resource (video, JS, json, etc) from domains that we control (and thus have valid SSL certificates for), instead of Vimeo/Akamai domains. 4. our server will download the appropriate version of the video from Vimeo on the fly (maybe cache it for an hour) and serve it to the client. The other resources necessary to play the video (JS, JSON) are permanently stored on our server, and are modified to tell the client to request the video from our servers. This is where Squid comes in. In our situation, we cannot: · know which kind of block the videos trigger on these firewalls · ask the clients to change any settings on their browsers · ask the clients to request a change to firewall settings Can we accomplish the above using Squid?
