[squid-users] Using squid to cache a video file

Hi,

i have a servlet which returns content of a video file:
like this:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/videoServlet?id=1
http://127.0.0.1:8080/videoServlet?id=2

I hit that servlet thru squid as the proxy.
I do this to query if squid does cache the video file:

./squidclient -H "Cache-Control: only-if-cached\n"
"http://127.0.0.1:8080/videoServlet?id=1"

it returns with

HTTP/1.0 504 Gateway Time-out

Can you please tell me why squid can't cache a video file?

Thank you.
