That's why we have made it such a complicated process for the UA to
request cachable sections of the original resource - see
http://annodex.net/TR/draft-pfeiffer-temporal-fragments-03.html#anchor8
. To the user, that should not be visible, but there is a slightly
more informed protocol necessary to allow caching of video fragments
that use URI fragments. I should also add that we never actually
implemented that protocol, but got to it through intensive discussions
with Squid developers and thus in theory it should work. But it needs
some testing...
Cheers,
Silvia.
