Hi Chris, Thank you for your answer. I don't understand the purpose of the "refresh_pattern" option in the doc. Could you send me a sample to make Squid work like i want (ie to enable the use of the swap when a request is used with an auth) please ? Thank you very much for your precious help.

Be aware that requests for cached content will NOT be prompted for authentication. Chris
