Hello, Under what cases squid will use refresh_pattern? If the response objects have expire or age headers, squid will follow their values.
Yes. Unless refresh_pattern have been specified with ignore-* HTTP violations.
If the response objects have neither expire nor age headers, squid will not cache them at all.
No, squid will try to cache unless forbidden (private, no-cache, sets a cookie, authenticated pages).
So when will squid use the refresh_pattern settings?
Any pages which had no age information and passed the cacheability tests for the above. I think its tested when followup request need to know about freshness, or on garbage collection.
Amos -- Please use Squid 2.7.STABLE4 or 3.0.STABLE9
