Re: [squid-users] Concurrently downloading a file

Best way to tell is see if it's a TCP_HIT or a TCP_MISS in the log,
whether it gets cached or not. If they are all MISS's, perhaps you need
additional configurations to cache those objects, which I am not an
expert of to provide you with.

Hi,

I have a large video file (50 MB).
Obviously when a client first requests it - then Squid will load it
from our CMS (content) server, and cache (we have maximum_object_size >
50MB).

My question is, what should happen if *several* clients ask for the
file, concurrently, for the first time?
If I have 4 such clients - would Squid download 4X50=200MB from the
CMS? Or would it be smart enough to recognize the existence of identical
concurrent requests, and download only once (50 MB)?

Or is it configurable?
Thanks.
