Caching Youtube Using Squid Caching Proxy


I'm doing quick post today as I'm quite busy right now. But I don't want to make my friend Piju disappointed as he request me (quite so long... sorry heheh) about my changes on his previous squid.conf to cache youtube which is not working anymore since youtube make some changes on their video URL.

Here is my new /etc/squid/squid.conf

Since this happen for quite some time and I'm busy coding something else, I don't remember which part were changed. Maybe somewhere around url_regex. Perhaps if piju's blog are still running (which is currently not), we can do a diff to compare them. Anyway, here it is. These scripts are shared and distributed as is. If you change it, feel free to let me know. Otherwise, just enjoy!

Comments

Thank You!
nido said…
Dana!

CyPH3r said…
is this script working now a days?
you can use another method that can be used on squid 3.X also and not only old versions.
http://code.google.com/p/youtube-cache/

also i was working on a prototype using icap and not re-director or url store rewrite.
docbill said…
Perhaps it is because I'm using a different version of squid, but this did not work until I modified the perl script. $X[0] is always a value of 0, $X[1] is the actual url.

I merged your configuration and script with one from another site that also did not work and finally got something that appears to work.

Only I'm still not quite satisfied, as I am trying to get something that works with a proxy.pac file, so I can limit what I redirect to squid. Thus far this only works if I redirect everything.
