Re: [squid-users] adding content to 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 ?

You could use a tool like wget to pass requests through Squid then the object will be cached if it is cachable.
wget has some good arguments like "-p" or "-m" which even can be used to cache the whole site.
