[squid-users] Squid issue of caching the m3u8 file

[LIU Yaning]

Dear All,

I would like to cache the .m3u8 file to be able to provide offline caching
service by Squid. The played HLS video streaming is the link as below:
http://qthttp.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1010qwoeiuryfg/0150_vod.m3u8

However, the .m3u8 file is not be cached probably because it is mentioned
as a no-cache, no-store, max-age=0 in the "Cache-Control" in the HTTP
header.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Server: Apache

ETag: "1d7168b4f49e75f76f3182f24bf075f6:1299516751"

Content-Type: application/x-mpegURL

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

I added a new rule for .m3u8 file in squid.conf, however, it is still not
working.

refresh_pattern -i \.(ts|m3u8)$ 120 90% 1000 override-expire
override-lastmod ignore-no-cache ignore-no-store

Does anyone know how to allow Squid caching the .m3u8 file? Thanks a lot in
advance.

Best Regards,
