I have Squid set up as a reverse proxy pointing back to an Apache/PHP

scripts but with mixed success.
I've reduced my test to a basic script that runs phpinfo();. When I
connect to the page via my squid reverse proxy this seems to result in a
mem_hit using IE but a miss when I use Firefox.
Does anybody know why there would be a difference based on which browser
I use? Any suggestions on how to make Squid cache php consistently?
Thanks,

What is important here is how you are requesting the page. Having the
page open in Firefox, and hitting reload will cause a "Cache-Control:
max-age=0" header to be sent which requires revalidation of the page in
question (see
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/Issues/reload-operations.html).
Use one of the cacheability engines if possible, or set your browser
cache to 0 (both mem and disk) and surf to the page using a bookmark.
