Squid_avira_update_cache

flashka

Hi all, I'm trying to cache "avira updates" with squid, but no luck…

my conf:
acl aviraupdate dstdomain .avira-update.com
range_offset_limit -1 aviraupdate
refresh_pattern -i avira-update.com/.. 4320 80% 43200 reload-into-ims

any help ? 10x!

Yeah, because it's not like AV updates work these days. This defunct garbage has been removed from the pfSense Squid package for a good reason.

OK 10x! I give up.

There are mixed reports when it comes to caching of dynamic content. Some users say it's working, some (including doktornotor) say it isn't (and can't). I see a good possibility that doktornotor's view on that matter is prejudiced, so I wouldn't give up so soon.

Can't help with the specific problem though as I'm not using Avira, sorry. Here's the Squid config of someone claiming to achieve high cache hit rates, maybe the patterns in that config will help.

Edit: there's also this thread on here.
