WEBPROXY again :D

RouterOS General

Just wondering how to make webproxy to-cache large files such as video files, like flv.youtube, google video, and other types of file?
At the moment, it seems like it’s only caching jpegs, gifs and some static text.

Thx

WebProxy setting:

enabled: yes
src-address: 0.0.0.0
port: 8080

Increase the Object size, But I am NOT sure it works or not.

Tried that, if you notice the object size currently is 40960kb = 40.96Mb.
Doesn’t work..

Thanks ashish

I think it’s because in case on internet video you are not downloading certain files, you are streaming data. that can’t be cached.

You need to find yourself an RTSP cache.

but when you do a streaming, once the video is finsihed, then you replay the video again, it uses what’s stored on the pc’s cache. Doesn’t that mean proxy should be able to do that as well?

what is RTSP cache? :smiley:

Do a google search

Router would need to have streaming server built-in to be able to cache streamed data, and not just one but every streaming server type.

Player on PC caches files already received through streaming. On repeated request it does not use streaming at all, it just shows already downloaded file.

Yeap that’s what i meant “what already downloaded”, thought it would do the same with proxy.
But i think i got your idea that if proxy does cache the streaming files, meaning we’re streaming from the proxy itself … which is not possible… CMIIW.

Thanks for the info…
