Hiyas,
First of all, sorry for the late answer. :)

I would like to know if it is possible to configure squid to
"ignore" the cacheability of any page, and simply force squid to cache
all the content requested on the backend servers.
yes, override the page cache directive via the refresh_pattern directive.
It seems that "refresh_pattern" does not enforce the rules on all
objects, applying the policies only to "cacheable" ones.
Also, I would like to ignore any info regarding the expire of the
object(for example forcing the object to be valid for a month or so), or
any request to "refresh" an object from the cache, unless this request
came in the form of a "PURGE".
Use the refresh_pattern directive for this as well.
Again, as long as the object is cacheable, this directive seems to work
as expected.
But if you can you should work with the web server to have it announce
proper cacheability status.
Some ammo for the purpose:
Caching Tutorial for Web Authors and Webmasters
<url:http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/>
Cacheability Engine
<url:http://www.mnot.net/cacheability/>
Heh, those URLs solved my problem. Discovered that my vignette engine
was not sending any "Expires" or "Cache-Control" headers, and had SSI
enabled globally on my Apache server (which in turn disabled the
"Last-Modified", "ETag" and "Content-Length" headers).
Simply using the mod_expires module on my Apache+vignette backend
solved the issue. Also, I'm trying to disable SSI on all virtualdomains
with "static" pages (pages without any "include" section).
Anyway, thanks for your help (Henrik/Mike).
Regards
Henrik

Domingos.
