Re: adding content to the cache

Actually, I am looking at a way of adding it directly to the squid cache. Basically, take the file and add it to the cache. I am looking into patching Squid to provide an API to do that. How complicated do you think it is if I want to add the file content along with the metadata directly into the cache ?

Not at present.
You need to place it somewhere on a web server, assign it sufficient cache-control settings to store for a long while and then request it from squid.

Common tools such as wget or squidclient can do that for you.
