Yep, Polipo should be fine for that, as long as they don't use streaming video. Polipo has some limitations that make it unsuitable for streaming video. (Polipo should be able to detect streaming video and switch to tunnelling mode. But that's for another lifetime.) > I am wanting to cache a few entire sites, and auto update at scheduled > intervals. > I know that I can wget can pull a site, but as far as I can tell there > isn't a setting to tell polipo to use it and let wget pull it once a > day/week/month. for that site but cache everything else as normal. Why don't you simply create a cron job that does something like (untested): set -e su nobody dir="$(mktemp -d)" cd "$dir" http_proxy=http://localhost:8123 wget -r --header 'Cache-Control: max-stale=90000' http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/ cd / rm -rf "$dir" -- Juliusz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cloud Services Checklist: Pricing and Packaging Optimization This white paper is intended to serve as a reference, checklist and point of discussion for anyone considering optimizing the pricing and packaging model of a cloud services business.
