Re: [squid-users] Ahead Caching

It's trivial to run a wget or curl on the same server that the squid proxy is on and access pages through it, directing the output to /dev/null, in order to prime the cache. But there's no explicit way to tell squid to "please pull this URL into your cache" without an actual HTTP request for that page.

Also, don't forget that only objects that aren't marked with no-cache or no-store cache-control headers will be stored in squid's cache, which for sites like google's main pages will result in not very much being cached at all beyond inline graphics.
