The "HTTP Cache" manager sets HTTP cache headers for requests. This allows external HTTP caches (usually, there is one in the browser; there may be caches in between, either set up by yourself or another). Unless you use high end features of Squid, the HTTP cache approach can only cache complete requests. A RAM Cache can cache page components (i.e. it has smaller granularity than the HTTP Cache approach). Thus, you use an "HTTP cache" to cache complete requests and a "RAM cache" to cache pieces that are combined into full pages by some non cached device... -- Dieter
