| Goal: | When we have a squid implemented with Duplicate Storage Avoidance, we will be able to find a content based on its MD5 digest. Hence if we use an HTTP HEAD request to ask for Content-MD5 before we send a GET request to the server, we can check whether we have the content in disk before we initiate the GET request. If we do have it in disk already, we can save the GET request all together. |
