But it's more effective to use the cache directive to block things from caching. refresh_pattern only applies on pages where there is no explicit expiry information set by the origin server. acl page1 urlpath_regex /page1/ cache deny page1
Just tried that. It didn't seem to change anything. Let me reword the problem. I have some pages with http authentication. When I point my browser directly to the apache server, they authenticate successfully. When I point it to the squid that accelerates the apache server, authentication fails. thanks
