[squid-users] Squid-2.7, youtube & windowsupdate caching

Hi All,

Out of curiosity, I am driven to test squid-2.7 for it's ability to
cache youtube and windowsupdate.
I have already installed it alongside my Squid-3.0.1 and it's now in service.
I am more interested in the windowsupdate caching than youtube though
as you can all guess.
I have followed the wiki entry for youtube caching and will start
testing that to see how it happens:-)
There was a recent mention of some changes to the wiki entry relating
to url changes of youtube server -
http://www1.no.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200802/0282.html.
Could this have been reflected in the wiki?

Has anyone done something they'd like to share as regards caching windowsupdate?

Thanks in advance
