RE: How to not cache a site?

Resending as I had received a failure notice message.

I do not think that the refresh_pattern is even setup as they are all
commented out.

# grep refresh_pattern /etc/squid/squid.conf
#     refresh_pattern regex min percent max
#refresh_pattern -i \.js$       0       0%      1
#refresh_pattern -i \.css$      0       10%     30
#refresh_pattern .              0       20%     4320

Attached is a zipped http header log captured using Live HTTP Headers.

Regards,
Jerome

These two lines ("Cache-Control: no-store", and an Expires with the same

time as the request) should stop any (compliant) shared cache from 
caching the content.  Have you modified the refresh_pattern in your 
squid.conf?

Have you checked the headers returned with requests for those objects 
that are being cached?

TCP_REFRESH_MISS.

Same story here, have you verified the headers on these objects?  
Especially the objects that result in TCP_REFRESH_HIT and TCP_IMS_HIT as

(I think) those are requests that are being validated with the origin 
server.
