Re: [squid-users] do store.log SWAPOUT entries indicate comprehensive list of cached urls?

Thanks. I did look at one of his projects - embedded content adaptation (writing eCAP adapter using the libecap module). I felt using a simple web client to read store.log and getting cached content from squid might be more easier and straight forward.   Sai Teja Peddinti ----- Original Message ----- From: Amos Jeffries <squid3_at_treenet.co.nz> To: Saiteja Peddinti <p_saiteja_at_yahoo.com> Cc: "squid-users_at_squid-cache.org" <squid-users_at_squid-cache.org> Sent: Saturday, 7 January 2012 12:28 AM Subject: Re: [squid-users] do store.log SWAPOUT entries indicate comprehensive list of cached urls?

I was thinking of reading urls from store.log and querying them with my client. My client would then compute hash and store the results. Since I would make just one query for every cached url, I was assuming that the additional load might be less. Is there any other efficient way to achieve what I want to do? I think you should contact Alex,  (rousskov at measurement-factory.com) about the MD5 hashing. He has been working on a project to calculate and exchange object Digests for URL de-duplication on slow network links. It also requires this type of hash calculation and AFAIK he has already worked out how to do this efficiently inside Squid. Amos
