The answer depends on what you are using c-icap for:

* If you want to adapt (including inspect) HTTP requests, then use a
reqmod_precache vectoring point.

* If you want to adapt (including inspect) HTTP responses, then use a
respmod_precache vectoring point.

* If you want to adapt (including inspect) all HTTP messages, then use
both vectoring points.


HTH,
