[squid-users] caching videos over https?

Yuri,

I am not the most experienced in life and in security but I can say it's possible and I am not selling it....
I released the windows update cacher which works in enough places(just by seeing how many downloaded it..).
The first rule I have learned from my mentors is that even if you know something it might not fit to be in a form that the general public should know about.
I am looking for a link to CVE related publication rules of thumb so I would be able to understand better what should be published and how.
Any redirections are welcomed..

A note:
If you have the plain html of a json which contains the next links you would be able to predict couple things...
If you would be able to catch every single fedora\redhat sqlite db file and replace it with a malicious sha256 data you would be able to hack each of their clients machine when they will be updated.
If you believe you can coordinate such a thing you are way above StoreID level of understanding networking and Computer Science.

Cheers,
Eliezer

I do not want to waste my and your time and discuss this issue. I know what I know, I have seriously studied this issue. None of those who are really able to cache Youtube - not only on desktops but also on mobile devices - all without exception - is no solution in the form of open source or blob will not offer free. This is big money. As for Google, and for those who use it. Therefore, I suggest better acquainted with the way Youtube counteracts caching and close useless discussion.

I'm not going to shake the air and talk about what I do not and can not be. If you have a solution - really works, and for absolutely any type of client (Android and iPhone) - show evidence or let's stop blah-blah-blah. I mean, if you really were a solution - you'd sold it for money. But you do not have it, isn't it?

Personally, I do not want anything. This is not the solution I'm looking for. 

For myself, I found a workaround; what I know - I have stated in the wiki. If someone else wants to spend a year or two for new investigations - welcome.
