Yes. As long as the request is not a Range: request (we don't cache Range 
requests).


Range requests into a cached, large objects is still poor performance too. 
This generally makes ATS a poor cache choice at this point for large Video's 
(most players will use Range requests for positioning). We really have to 
fix this (there's a Jira bug for it, the infamous TS-475.



2. Can it handles the video other than as an object (like image caching)


Note sure what that means. :)

Traffic Server and Video caching

[Ravid Sagy]

I'm wondering if I can use the Apache Traffic Server as a Video cache and
if so:
1. Can it forward the video while caching it?
2. Can it handles the video other than as an object (like image caching)
3. Is there anyone that use it as video cache

Thanks in advance
Have a nice day
