Hi, I am a new user to squid (and this mailing-list) and I have a question regarding the caching of files.
The system is a new redhat 9 system with pre-configured squid. I checked the configuration parameters and it seems to be fine for our needs. Looking at the (access) log-file I can see that for most of the pages I get "hits" instead of "miss"es. BUT We are trying to use "Host on Demand" from IBM and there is something called a "cached client". Because we have very slow connections to our locations we want the proxy to cache the installation files (which are *.cab files) and they are not cached. I tested XLS and DOC files and they are cached, PDFs seem not to be cached. I found a parameter for a "maximum size" but our files are smaller than defined there. Does anybody have an idea if I need to set-up the filetypes which should be cached and if so, how I do that. Any other hint in the right direction would be very much appreciated too! Cheers, Markus
