Hi All,
I use Squid Cache: Version 2.6.STABLE5. I realise from
the archives that some work has already been done on
this. Following the previous work/wiki/archives, I am
able to chache some youtube clips but not most. The
limitting factor is not size (Mb), I have that
adequately covered.

From the store.log I realise that responses without
valid Dates (-1), last-Modified-Date and Expiry-dates
being in the past are not cached. Meanwhile, I have
ignore-no-cache, overide-expire in my refresh pattern:
refresh_pattern -i \.flv$ 10080 90%
999999 ignore-no-cache override-expire ignore-private
 
Find below 2 lines from the store.log:
1189970186.851 RELEASE -1 FFFFFFFF
7E4298A248D7B24F1CADFD910ADFA7EB 200 -1

http://lax-v149.lax.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=ligSwv-MI3U

Are there any configuration parameters that I can use
in overcoming this obstacle? Are there any other
options that I can pursue in caching the youtube
responses? Please help.

Best Regards,
solomon.
