[squid-users] Redirector irritation

Hi all,

As i understand it, a redirector simply passes off the request to the
URL specified in the redirector program. The result of that redirect
is not cached.

Is that correct?

I need to have a program (not a browser) be able to call:

http://my.server.com:3128/feed_call.xml?results=12&keyword=flights

and have that actually call:

http://www.feedpeople.com/feeds/feed_call.xml?results=12&keyword=flights

And cache the results of that call - to reduce calls to that feed and
speed up the response times.

I know i can do this by having all port 80 traffic redirected to 3128
using the iptables commands, but sysadmin does not allow this. As i
can have my program call Squid directly on 3128 port i should be able
to do this without iptables re-pointing surely? However, then i need
to involve a redirector which doesn't seem to cache anything.

Any thoughts greatfully accepted!

Thanks
Jim
