not understand?

StoreKeyPublic calculates the Squid internal key for a given URL.

icpGetCacheKey calculates a ICP internal query key identifying this
query (combination of StoreKeyPublic and the ICP Request Numnber).

icpSetCacheKey gives a unique ICP Request Number to use for this ICP
query and remembers the Squid cache key relating to this ICP kery.
