You need to look at the HTTP requests and replies - begin by enabling MIME logging. Then you need to learn a little about how refresh_patterns and cache (which was once no_cache) work in limiting what can and can't be cached. Then there's probably some modifications that Squid needs - specifically floating about supporting caching partial Range Request responses. Funny you should mention it, I'm building a commercial Squid appliance right at the moment which, amongst other things (like out of the box functional interception/WCCPv2 support, anti-spyware/malware filtering, black/whitelists, web-based User/ACL management, some useful reporting output, etc.) will include stuff to begin caching sites like Youtube and Google Maps/Earth. Its tricky to do right and things will need changing/adapting over time. What worked yesterday might not work so well tomorrow.. Adrian
