Synopsis
 This option represents an executable for store URL rewriter. Which allows URL’s to be normalised by mapping multiple URL’s to a single URL representation for cache operation.

Example
If a client requests an image from http://server1.example.com/image.gif and subsquent request for http://server2.example.com/image.gif.
The squid will treat the two URL’s as different one and cache them separately.
This is a normal case. But if increasing number of sites distribute the same content between multple front end hosts. The stroe URl rewrites such URLs to one URL to use for cache operations.
