[squid-users] just cache images

[Dan]

I'm looking to setup a simple image proxy that only
caches certain types of images.

for example i want to only cache 1 websites images and
not any other website.

so say someone goes to example.com and views a page
with  
index.asp, hello.gif, hello.png

how could i set it up to only cache *.gif on
example.com and not on test.com or anything else?


Thank you very much for your help and advice

Set the server you want cached with:

  acl cacheThisServer dstdomain .example.com

And since you just want to cache images, I think:

  acl images rep_mime_type -i ^image/

will work.

Then pull it all together with:

  no_cache deny !cacheThisServer !images

Voila!  Don't cache anything but images from the cacheThisServer.  Can
someone verify my logic?  Will rep_mime_type work for the no_cache acl?
Otherwise, you'd have to do it via filename extension (e.g. .jpg, .gif,
etc), and that sounds like a lot more typing...

That looks great, and seems to be working ok. just let
me run to examples by you real quick

Cached
TCP_MEM_HIT/200 6230 GET www.example.com/logo.jpg -
NONE/- image/jpeg

Not Cached
TCP_MISS/200 16347 GET www.example.com/photo_2.jpg -
DIRECT/1.1.1.1 image/jpeg

is that correct?

and if i wanted so add another domain name would i do
it like example 1 or example 2?
  acl cacheThisServer1 dstdomain .example2.com
  acl cacheThisServer dstdomain .example.com
  acl images rep_mime_type -i ^image/

# example 1 -
  no_cache deny !cacheThisServer !cacheThisServer1
!images
# example 2 - 
  no_cache deny !cacheThisServer !images
  no_cache deny !cacheThisServer1 !images

Thanks so much for your great advice and fast response
