[squid-users] Problems Using squid 2.6 as a transparent web cache

Hello,
I have an application in linux that uses http resources (videos,
images..). These resources are in other machine with a http server
running (under windows).

The linux application always download the resources. I installed and
configured squid in the linux machine to cache these resources, but the
linux application always downloads them from the http server. I don't
know how can I resolve the problem. I need some help, please.

The linux ip address is: 192.168.240.23 and the windows with http server
ip is: 192.168.233.158

This is my squid.conf file content:

acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
acl manager proto cache_object

I executed these commands:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to
192.168.240.23:3128
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT
--to-port 3128

The cache.log content is this:
