I thought so - never mind.

Ok, here we go once again:
I stumbled across section 7.2 of the Squid FAQ and I believe it is wrong.
It states that in order to find the biggest object in the cache you have
to run
"sort -r -n +4 -5 access.log | awk '{print $5, $7}' | head -25".
IMHO this wrong, because
1) this doesn't take into account that some objects might not come from
the disk cache and also that some of those objects may never be cached
because
  a) they are too big or
  b) they match the 'no_cache' tag
2) this is only a snapshot of what actually is processed until you never
rotated your access.log since you started squid the first time.

egrep "(TCP|UDP)(|_(REFRESH|IMS|MEMORY))_HIT" access.log | sort -r -n +4 -5\
| awk '{print $5, $7}' | head -25
resolves 1) but 2) is still a problem.

The best solution would be to search the cache dirs, sort the results
according to size and somehow retrieve the URL from the files.

    Comments?
