I have set up my refresh_pattern like this in the squid configuration: refresh_pattern . 1 100% 1 ignore-reload I have already tried tons of combinations including override-expire, override-lastmod, reload-into-ims, ignore-reload. Disabling refresh_pattern did disable caching when I removed the cache-files in /var/spool/squid_cache. [root]# telnet {squid_ip} {port} Trying {squid_ip}... Connected to {squid_ip}.
