Hi, I'm brand new to Squid.
I am trying to use Squid to solve the following problem -
I work on the road, often without an Internet connection. Unfortunately, an application I am using downloads some files from the Internet on every interface navigation, and when offline, waits (2 minutes!) for the connection to time out before responding. This makes the application completely unusable. The actual content of the download is unimportant (probably even a 404 error would be fine) but I cannot prevent the application from waiting for connection timeout.
To this end I installed squid, and have successfully routed the traffic from said problematic application through it, to the exclusion of regular Internet, including browsing traffic, which does not go through squid, and successfully configured internet access through squid.
I would now like to configure squid so that i can run the application (with internet on), loading its downloads into squid's cache, and then have squid serve that up to the application instantly on every subsequent request, irrelevant of internet connectivity and content expiry headers, including from a fresh boot while offline.
Can someone point me toward the correct configuration/directives?
Thanks.
