Squid indexes content by its URL, so in all honesty, the best way to
get an object into squid's storage is to just request it through the
proxy. This is easily scriptable via the curl and wget command-line
tools, or frameworks like perl's LWP.

Actually, I am looking at a way of adding it directly to the squid

you think it is if I want to add the file content along with the
metadata directly into the cache ?

there an API to do that ?
For example, I have the following file image.gif and I want to add
it to the proxy cache so it can be served from there when needed.
You could use a tool like wget to pass requests through Squid then
the object will be cached if it is cachable.
wget has some good arguments like "-p" or "-m" which even can be
used to cache the whole site.
