Hi Henrik, I have tried quite a lot, eg: refresh_pattern -i \.flv$ 10080 990% 999999 reload-into-ims ignore-no-cache It caches only those objects which have not already expired that is with the right combinations of Last-Modified or ETag & minimum_expiry_time; as you explained earlier. Any suggestion on a refresh_pattern to overcome (Last-Modified or ETag & minimum_expiry_time) limitation?
