The defaults. At least my squid.conf doesn't list refresh_patterns at all.
Ralf: the defaults as shipped in squid.conf is to have these uncommented:
refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320
Try putting them in, and see if it makes any difference.
I'd be interested to know what having no patterns defined in a working squid.conf (like yours) is _supposed_ to do though (does it just cache everything infinitely?). The default from src/cf.data is (none), however squid.conf ships with the refresh_pattern lines above uncommented, effectively overriding the undefined/none value.
Henrik: what is the behaviour of (none) supposed to be? Seems to me that what is specified above and in squid.conf.default should be what squid does if nothing is explicitely defined by the user at all?
