Description

The Youtube refresh filter currently causes squid to stop caching for all domains OTHER than youtube. It adds the following lines:

+# Break HTTP standard for flash videos. Keep them in cache even if asked not to.
+refresh_pattern -i \.flv$ 10080 90% 999999 ignore-no-cache override-expire ignore-private
+
+# Let the clients favorite video site through with full caching
+acl youtube dstdomain .youtube.com
+cache allow youtube

The last two lines clearly only allow youtube to be cached. I was wondering why there were no longer ANY HITs in the logs....

Fixed by removing the broken option which doesn't work anyway due to YT being served via HTTPS in in a way that prevents caching - cf. http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/DynamicContent/YouTube#Discussion

Renato: I guess you forgot to press the "merge" button :) Still sitting unmerged on GitHub. (Same goes for the other bugs, like HAVP).
