You can't just "feed" traffic in to Squid - it has to request it, otherwise it
won't have a clue what to do with it.

Why not just tell the client to use Squid as a proxy?
Then:
- Squid will make the requests and know what to do with the response traffic
it
gets back
- you don't need to send a 302 redirect to the client; it'll just get the
cached content automatically
- clients will get the benefits of caching for everything else, as well as the
video
In other words, why not just set up Squid "normally"?
