Hi All, thanks for the responses. I guess what I need is something like: squidclient -m HEAD -H 'Max-Forwards = 0\n' http://www.google.com It fetches only the HEADERS so I can grep for 'X-Cache: HIT from mySquid'. I think it still contacts the origin server on a MISS. I will prefer if it remained a local affair without contacting the remote server at all. But it works without much delay. Thanks, solomon. --- Adrian Chadd <adrian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Mon, Oct 01, 2007, Andreas Pettersson wrote: > > Adrian Chadd wrote: > > >On Mon, Oct 01, 2007, Solomon Asare wrote: > > > > > >>Hi All, > > >>please, how do I tell I have an object in my > cache > > >>without fetching the object.
