Sorry but I wasn't laughing much while trying to figure out how to get the text responses originally. The standard ">" to a file in Windows was not working so I decided to risk a screenshot to expedite. Obviously that was not the correct route. I have since then found the "-o" parameter on wget to output to a file. Here is my client wget command again.... http_proxy=172.17.0.60:3218 wget -S http://www.sortmonster.net/master/Updates/test.xyz -O test.new.gz --header=Accept-Encoding:gzip --http-user=myuserid --http-passwd=mypassword Here is the result... Connecting to 172.17.0.60:3128... connected.

I am assuming this is true even though the wget header responses above dont indicate any type of Private or Authenticated session. Is the fact that I am simply including a username and password in the wget command line enough for squid to assume this is not a cacheable session? Since I experimented with the squid caching options to no avail last night could you please suggest a config file line with full syntax that I can try? Is it simply "Cache-control: public in server respond"?

LOL, can you just email the text in a plain text email? If I didn't know better I'd think someone put you up to this- you often are forced to with GUI output from which concise ASCII information can not be extracted. > > I see nothing about "private" in the headers so I'm assuming this content > should be getting cached.

You can look at ietf spec and grep it for each header key wget returned ( assuming you have an easy way to extract these from your jpg image that should be quite quick LOL). Text is interoperable, images require you buy some wget-to-ietf-GUI tool that converts the ietf spec into the same font as your wget output and looks for blocks of pixles that are the same ( sorry to beat this to death but it comes up a lot and creates a lot of problems in other contexts). > > Very puzzling. > > Mike > > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Robertson [mailto:crobertson@xxxxxxx] > Sent: Monday, January 04, 2010 6:48 PM > To: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Forward Cache not working > > Mike Makowski wrote: >> Here is my basic config.
