I have a little question: is it possible to use Squid for caching
another kind of traffic?
I am using BlueCoat ProxySG. http://www.bluecoat.com/

Control — Proxy Services
Proxy support for multiple protocols
-> HTTP, CIFS, SSL, FTP, MAPI, P2P, MMS, RTSP, QuickTime, TCP-Tunnel, DNS
-> Bandwidth management on all proxy services
-> SSL Termination & Proxy (forward and reverse)
-> Control encrypted traffic for all users and applications inside and
outside the enterprise

This product caches and compress CIFS and several other protocols.
Could be a new feature in next versions of Squid
I doubt it.
CIFS is 11 years expired. Very complicated, and not relevant to HTTP.
It's a file system which Windows and Samba wrap nicely into other forms
which Squid can use already so no need to add this muddle of obsolete
mess to Squid.

I suspect BC support it as part of their router/firewall features. I've
heard of their WebGate using Squid so it's not in there.
MMS, RTSP, Torrent, and ONION have better chances of getting into Squid
anytime soon.
