Re: [squid-users] Re: Squid vs caching products like memcached

So are you saying that it is possible and quite basic to do this with Squid?

My understanding is that Squid can cache static objects, but am unaware
about whether it can cache entire dynamically generated pages (not just the
static content like images and stylesheets contained within those pages),
and under custom expiration rules like the one I described in my previous
post about Amazon.com.
