I see , but it will be normal way , we can redirect full http traffic via route-map or Wccp , but if we redirect part video traffic only , porting mirror + 302 http packet will be safe way .

No, port mirroring is most unsafe way to configure and not possible with HTTP agents. HTTP is designed to work with proxy intermediaries like Squid as part of the messaging system. Perhapse you need to read http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-2.3, which documents how HTTP works with Squid. Maybe also http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-2.3 which documents how caches operate in HTTP.
