[squid-users] how to influence the generation of cached objects's key?

[Raymond Wang]

hello, all:


in one squid, there are many web sites, but some static files have the
same content. and by default, squid would cache the same-content files
many times, which would decrease the storage usage.

in order to make use of storage, it is better to save the same-content
file only one time.

to achieve that, I want to affect the key generation of cached object.

that is, given the two url of www.a.com/sale/someFunction.js and
www.a.com/sale/someFunction.js, and the javascript (someFunction.js)
files have the same content.

with squid, can I cut the part before someFunction.js when the url
is given to generate cached object's key?



thanks in advance!

[squid-users] index key generation mechanism?

[Raymond Wang]

hi all:



For the file of somejs.js, there are two urls referring to it,  for
example: url1 is http://www.a.com/somejs.js; and url2 is
http://www.a.com/somejs.js;.

by default, squid would use the above urls to generate certain key
that would be used as index key to write/read the somejs.js file
to/from memory.

My question is that: could I affect the index key generation, so that
squid could save the somejs.js file in memory only one object.  for
example, for url1, we can trim http://www.a.com/somejs.js; to
somejs.js and http://www.a.com/somejs.js;  to somejs.js, then the
key would be somejs.js, e.g. use the file name (or some variants
based on it) as index key. this way, we can save the two different
urls (the referred files have the same content)  as only one object in
Squid.

is it possible?


thanks in advance!

[squid-users] what does Squid do if two files have the same content and different file name?

[Raymond Wang]

Hi, all:

   In our company, the business logic is common: different URL  may
refer to the same content files. so in order to optimize the usage of
memory, it is better that Squid would keep only object cached when the
content is equal to each other for several files.

   does squid support this feature? if so, how can I configure it?

thanks.

[squid-users] anyone describe the model of how Squid manage the memory?

[Raymond Wang]

hi, all:
   I am new to Squid, and I am assigned to learn how Squid manage to
memory, in order to make best use of the Squid.
   there are some problems about the memory management for Squid:

   1, if two files have the same content, such as two Javascript
files,  then how Squid deal with the two files in memory? dose it
treat it as one file and keep the two file name somewhere?
   2, how does the Squid define the level of hot data? and what is the
distribution strategy of hot data like?and How can I affect the
distribution strategy ?


thanks.
