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.

Sample squid log entry from the zip file (without cookies) for reference:

------------------------
TCP_REFRESH_HIT:FIRST_UP_PARENT 10.11.12.13 10.10.10.10 - - [06/Jun/2008:21:42:52 +0000] "GET http://site_address.com/help/chr_ind_on.gif HTTP/1.1" 302 830 "http://site_address.com/help/whskin_tbars.htm"; "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14"
------------------------

There were no associated HTTP headers for this object (http://site_address.com/help/chr_ind_on.gif)*, but here is another request that also resulted in a 302 (Moved Temporarily):

------------------------

------------------------

The redirection just has a "Cache-Control: max-age=0", which allows the cache to store the response, and just requires that it be revalidated (which is done as evidenced by the TCP_REFRESH_HIT in the Squid log).

So, I'm still not seeing anything being cached against the server's request. Try tailing the access log and grep for " 200 " and "HIT"** (note the spaces on either end of the 200). That should show any objects (as opposed to redirects or errors) that are served from cache.

* The other URL (http://site_address.com/help/whskin_tbars.htm) it the referrer.
** tail -f /cache/logs/access.log | egrep "10.10.10.10.* 200 .*HIT"
