Regarding Caching POST Messages

Hi All,

I am trying to design/develop an application where I need to have access to information about
the ways in which users interact with a webpage. By checking with HttpFox, I found that the
information which I need is being passed using POST messages. Hence, I am trying to cache
or store the POST messages using SQUID proxy server.

I am aware that RFC has guidelines which specifically discourages caching of such information.
But, for my application, it seems this is the only option I have.

I tried to find ways to have this feature in SQUID and was advised by different developers to use
different ways to achieve this. I was told to use eCAP, iCAP interfaces, ( REQ MODE or RESP
MODE), adaptors, and some other ways too.

I am not sure which options is most appropriate and can be done. Can someone please advise
on what I need to do or modify to cache POST messages?

I am kinda lost on what is the right path to take and how it needs to be done. If someone can please
guide me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot for your time. If you need more information regarding
this, please let me know.

Thanks,
Sandeep
