Harddisk cache
Here you can set up how much storage the proxy cache may use on the harddisk drive.
The special value "0" disables the disk cache. The cache directory resides in "/var/
spool/squid/".
Before you raise this value, please check the available amount
of disk space on the corresponding harddisk partition.
Do not cache objects larger than
To prevent the cache from quickly filling up, files will not be cached if they exceeded
a certain size. Here you can specify this size.
To be able to store a large object in the cache it is
often necessary to remove lots of small objects beforehand.
Therefore, if the value of this parameter is set too high, you might
encounter temporary severe performance loss.
No caching for objects from
To keep SX-GATE from caching objects from certain sites you can enter the respective
addresses here. The specification of a domain includes all subdomains. So if e.g. the
domain "example.com" is found in the list, caching of objects from "www.example.com"
and "ftp.example.com" is also disabled.
By adding a new address, objects from this site which have
already been cached will not be removed.
Most browsers also use a cache to speed up Internet access.
This control will not influence if or how long a browser stores
objects in its cache.
Delete cache
This function will delete both, the memory and the disk cache of SX-GATE's web proxy.
The proxy will be stopped for a short time and restarted with an empty cache. After this
the former contents of the disk cache will be deleted in the background.
