In comp.os.linux.networking trstag75@xxxxxxxx:
[ http proxy? ]
I'm mostly (if not 'only') interested in caching HTTP GET
request for pictures... It doesn't have to be "transparent",
the clients here on the LAN can be configured to access a
proxy.
You can run squid in transparent mode, forcing web traffic at
your firewall/gateway to be redirected to the squid proxy
server. No client configuration needed.
[..]
When does a 'web proxy cache' (like Squid) start caching?
As soon as the resource as been fully transferred to the proxy
or as soon as the resource is starting to be transferred to the proxy
(which in my case makes a lot of difference)?
Dunno the exact answer, though it should be trivial to find out,
running a proxy with a few clients and checking squid access logs
when it starts handing out cached content. Perhaps you could even
slow down clients a bit, to get squid the file cached once.
Though it might depend on the client request and what the html
page says concerning caching.
I'd recommend to do some testing or/and ask (search the archives
before!) http://www.squid-cache.org/ some squid mailing list
about the matter. Probably you get better advice there or/and
some idea what to do?
Good luck
