Forcing youtube to be cached throught cache_peer in squid - proxy

I would like to force a squid proxy to use a proxy cache peer form everything related to Youtube.
My main squid server is on server A, it is a realy simple setup, with nearly no rules, everything is authorized.
Server A is linked to server B via OpenVPN. Server B also have a squid proxy set up and works well (tested with ssh tunnel, no problem).
On server A I have added theses rules :
acl youtube_videos_regx url_regex -i ^http://[^/]+\.youtube\.com/videoplayback\?
acl youtube_videos_regx url_regex ^http://(.*?)/get_video\?
acl youtube_videos_regx url_regex ^http://(.*?)/videodownload\?
acl youtube_videos_regx url_regex ^http://(.*?)/videoplayback\?
acl youtube_videos dstdomain .youtube.com
acl youtube_videos dstdomain .youtube-nocookie.com
acl youtube_videos dstdomain .googlevideo.com
acl youtube_videos dstdomain .ytimg.com
cache_peer 10.4.0.1 parent 3128 0 proxy-only no-query connect-timeout=5
cache_peer_access 10.4.0.1 allow youtube_videos
cache_peer_access 10.4.0.1 allow youtube_videos_regx
cache_peer_access 10.4.0.1 deny all
But this doesn't seems to works :
1383861430.377 578 192.168.0.103 TCP_MISS/200 192976 GET http://r9---sn-5hn7ym7e.googlevideo.com/videoplayback? - HIER_DIRECT/208.117.250.14 application/octet-stream
1383861430.636 935 192.168.0.103 TCP_MISS/200 238032 GET http://r9---sn-5hn7ym7e.googlevideo.com/videoplayback? - HIER_DIRECT/208.117.250.14 application/octet-stream
1383861430.642 2353 192.168.0.103 TCP_MISS/200 238032 GET http://r9---sn-5hn7ym7e.googlevideo.com/videoplayback? - HIER_DIRECT/208.117.250.14 application/octet-stream
1383861432.467 617 192.168.0.103 TCP_MISS/200 192976 GET http://r9---sn-5hn7ym7e.googlevideo.com/videoplayback? - HIER_DIRECT/208.117.250.14 application/octet-stream
Sometimes it works :
1383860987.725 125 192.168.0.103 TCP_MISS/204 353 GET http://r20---sn-5hn7ym7r.googlevideo.com/generate_204 - FIRSTUP_PARENT/10.4.0.1 text/html
Could it be because of the data type ?
If so, I don't know what kind of rule to add.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I found how to solve my problem.
I just have to add this to my config file :
never_direct allow youtube_videos
never_direct allow youtube_videos_regx
These 2 lines, force squid to not use direct connection to my 2 acl.

How can I make gradle deal with multiple proxies?

I work on a project where there are multiple nexus registries behind different proxies :
How can I make sure that Gradle (or any repository related tool, such as NPM, maven, etc) can handle 3+ differents proxies at the same time to reach multiple Nexus instances ?
Until now, we were using a workaround : 1 nexus was accessed through HTTP proxy and 1 through HTTPS proxy. But now, we have 3 proxies to handle !
I think that it must be possible to add a machine (a squid instance ?) which would redirect proxy requests to the correct proxy, based on the domain name :
I'm not used to Squid and I still not managed to achieve this. Can anyone confirm if this is possible (or not) using Squid ? Does anyone would have another solution to suggest ?
Just for the background story, this network setting is due to multiple partner companies being involved in the project. We have access to each company Nexus through dedicated VPN and proxies.
OK, so I managed to run a Squid in a docker with the following config :
acl host src 10.0.0.0/8
acl host src 172.0.0.0/8
http_access allow host

Then, I run the docker using this command :
docker run --rm --volume ~/DevTools/squid/squid.conf:/etc/squid/squid.conf -v ~/DevTools/squid/logs:/var/log/squid -p 3128:3128 datadog/squid

squid remove leading slash from target url

I am configuring squid as proxy to forward request and intend to allow request only to example.com. This is the request as made from my browser: http://111.222.333.444/http://example.com where 111.222.333.444 is IP of my proxy server, where squid is installed.
But I am getting Invalid URL error, while the server is trying to fetch /http://example.com (note leading slash), here is access log record:
1505858815.396 0 12.34.56.78 NONE/400 3687 GET /http://example.com - NONE/- text/html
Here is the configuration that I am using

refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320
What I am doing wrong?
Got it! squid is proxy hence need to do the proxy connection to the server. If using firefox it can be done by setting up proxy and entering proxy server IP and port number. Once done URLs can be used directly in this case, use this directly in the navigation bar: http://example.com

Running Squid on localhost

I have a product form Symantec and their help is...less than helpful, including a nice message that says "Contact your reseller" in the "Contact Us" link. My reseller says to contact them. How? Anyways, it's a repackaged version if Squid for Windows. When I point IE to the proxy running locally I get "Access Denied. Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect." However, when I point IE on another machine to the server running Squid everything works fine.
I have zero experience with Squid or proxies. I tried some different configs based on searches here but nothing worked. I'm sure it's something simple. Here is the config:
digest_generation off

This is most likely the culprit: http_access deny !our_networks. This statement denies outbound access for all source IPs apart from 192.168.0.0/16 172.16.0.0/12 10.0.0.0/8 169.254.0.0/16.
When you browse from the same machine, browser would bind on localhost, so you can try expanding the our_networks definition with 127.0.0.1.

Squid cannot work on Amazon EC2

I am trying to set up a proxy server on Amazon EC2 (Singapore). But I always get "302 moved temporarily" error while trying to run "Squidclient http://www.google.com" on EC2 instance. And I cannot reach any site with that proxy as well from local desktop. I am just new to Squid. May anyone help me find out what is wrong?
My EC2 instance is a t2.micro Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS one. I created a test security group with all traffics inbound/outbound enabled from/to anywhere. The squid version is 3.3.8.
The squid.conf is as below actually the default one, but commented out all deny lines and allow all http_access.
acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt
acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http
acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker
acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http

#http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports
#http_access allow localhost manager
#http_access deny manager
#http_access allow localhost

The Squidclient running result looks reasonable to me. Your ec2 instance located in Singapore, and google is redirecting you to www.google.com.sg
Note the output from Squidclient
<A HREF="http://www.google.com.sg
The reason you can't reach out to any site via the squid proxy from you local desktop, is that you have to explicitly allow your desktop's public IP in squid's config, like below
acl home_network src <your desktop public IP>
http_access allow home_network
Then restart squid
Finally, try to config squid to listen on a higher port number instead of 3128, more detail is at How can I using squid from internet

Blocking HTTPS sites through Squid

Can I block https://www.facebook.com through Squid?
It is working very nicely except HTTPS sites
I am using Squid 3.1 in Debian 7
Yes, you can. You should also block it with CONNECT:
acl fb dstdomain .facebook.com
http_reply_access deny fb
http_access deny CONNECT fb
then:
squid3 -k reconfigure
or
squid -k reconfigure
Now, it is done!
