Will contents cached in squid be passed to eCAP?

Asked by Keith

Hi,

If the content is cached in squid (i am dealing with squid specifically), and squid is serving the content from its cache, will that content be passed to eCAP? If not, can it be forced to do so?

Thank you.

Please direct Squid-specific questions to Squid Forums.

Squid supports RESPMOD at a pre-cache vectoring point only. In other words, eCAP RESPMOD is not invoked when a hit is served to the HTTP client. The only way to "force" RESPMOD is to force a miss, which you can do using ACLs and/or REQMOD adaptations.

It is possible to add post-cache RESPMOD support, but so far nobody needed that badly enough to contribute patches or sponsor the development. It is usually possible to redesign to avoid post-cache RESPMOD adaptation requirements.

Can you help with this problem?
