Squid Cache has a nice feature called storeurl which allows the cache to store a url at a different url than it is fetched from, an example is a web site that has 5 content servers, lets say cdn[1-5].site.com, that all serve the same data, for example cdn1.site.com/image.jpg is the same as cdn2.site.com/image.jpg Youtube effectively does something similar with its videos, making caching of rather large, heavily cachable objects quite difficult. Storeurl allows you to change cdn1.site.com/image.jpg to say cdn.site.com.INTERNAL/image.jpg when stored in the cache, and subsequent lookups will check for that cache entry also to fetch it. Does polipo have a similar feature, or looking to implement it? On a slightly related note, is there a way to force ignoring of no-cache headers, or expire time, sent by the server? This also violates the HTTP/1.1 spec, but is quite useful for some special cases.
