can't you just block */RealMedia/ads/* via squidguard or something? they're only annoying adverts anyway :)

I suppose the Shockwave "program" (the swf file) uses the query parameters as a runtime configuration for what to do etc., so if only Squid could pass this on and still cache the file contents, that would be exactly what I want. Anyone have ideas about this? Is it doable? Running the swf's through Squid works, it's just that every file that has query parameters is not cached. :-( Regards, -- Anders. -- The content of this e-mail is confidential, may contain privileged material and is intended solely for the recipient(s) named above.
