Issue Summary
Hi,
Thanks for the great module.
I was wondering if there would be a problem with putting a Squid reverse proxy cache in front of apache when using Boost. I tried it out and the performance benefit seemed to be huge - about 4x the number of requests with apache alone and very little memory usage under load. Could this cause any problems though? I will keep investigating and report back, but thought I would see if you had any insights.
Thanks,
Chad

#1
works for me with no issues.
note that squid respects the cache headers when determining what to cache, and the cache headers in the default boost config/htaccess is very very bad
#2
Thanks for your reply. I played around with it for a while and it seemed to work pretty well. I don't need it on the production server yet, so I can't comment on that. What about the boost config is bad for cache headers?
Best,
Chad
#3
see http://drupal.org/node/185075
the .htaccess that currently ships with boost will disable client side caching for all images, css files, javascript etc - all things you'd really like squid to cache.

Hi,
That sounds most interesting!
Would anyone care to share his/her experiences in more detail, especially the Squid configuration (or have I missed another posting regarding Drupal + Squid + Boost).
Thanks & greetings, -asb

Closing all 5.x issues; will only reevaluate if someone steps up #454652: Looking for a co-maintainer - 5.x
Reason is 6.x has 10x as many users as 5.x; also last 5.x dev was over a year ago. The 5.x issue queue needs to go.
#6
Support request still applies for 6.x, re-opening.
