Based on my testing this morning, although the caching service on OS X Mavericks Server is supposed to cache iOS updates, and although it does a perfectly good job caching App Store content, it does NOT cache iOS 8 itself.
For those of us who manage large iPad deployments (and would prefer iOS 8 to be installed by end-users), this is a problem. Potentially a multiple-terabytes-through-a-finite-pipe problem.
Thankfully the Squid hack I figured out during the iOS 7 launch works with iOS 8 too. Otherwise we’d be in trouble.
Boo.

Yeah. I found out about Squid yesterday afternoon, and spent all day working on setting it up…just because of this. Didn’t take long, and I’m very happy with the results…
Nevermind, totally doesn’t work. lol.
