This is the problem I have: 1. I create /etc/polipo/uncachable file, put a server FOO.COM in it 2. restart polipo service 3. ensure that "uncachableFile = /etc/polipo/uncachable" in polipo configuration 4. try to download from FOO.COM using polipo proxy 5. downloaded file appears in /var/cache/polipo
From the documentation I understood that all URLs from uncachable file will not be cached (makes sense, doesn't it?). But I read a thread "Uncachable file not being read" that appeared on this list a while ago and it seems that uncachable URLs are also cached, but they are just renewed with every new request. Is it true? That would be really unnecessary, wouldn't it? Just a waste of disk space. Why not do a simple data pass-through without locally storing anything? My use case: I work in a corporate environment. We have a company data stored on a fast local network. I also work with some data available on the Internet. I need to cache those Internet files to speed up the access. I don't want to cache local network files, because there's no speed improvement and the amount of that data is enormous (I wouldn't be able to cache that locally even if I wanted). Therefore I put our local network data servers into uncachable file and expected only Internet data to be cached. Doesn't work. Would it make sense to adjust polipo not to cache uncachable data?
