[squid-users] Successfully change the content of an object. But ...

IMHO, there are two major ways to change the content of
the cache. Using the redirector or writing a program to
change the content of the cached object directly.

I choose the latter method because I think the latter is more
efficient. Another reason I think when using redirector I need
additional work to deal with digital signature of the cached object.
Maybe it will be a hard work to me. :-)

I successfully change the content of one cached object (a .gif) but I meet a trouble. I write a program whose main procedures are the following,

1. shutdown squid
2. search and modify the cached .gif
3. restart squid

I notice when I just do the procedure 2, the .gif will not be changed.
It really puzzled me a lot. I do not know why. I want to find a way to modify the content of the .gif directly without "shutdown" and "restart" squid. Do you have some suggestions?

Best regards,
George Ma
