as for some people asking me recently about youtube cache i have checked
again and found that youtube changed their video uris and added an
argument called "range" that is managed by the youtube player.
the original url\uri dosnt include range but the youtube player is using
this argument to save bandwidth.

i can implement the cahing with ranges on nginx but i dont know yet the
way that range works.
it can be based on user bandwidth or "fixed" size of chunkes.

if someone up to the mission of analyzing it a bit more to understand it
so the "range" cache will be implemented i will be happy to get some
help with it.

Thanks,
Eliezer
