Hi Amos - In squid.conf I've now specified: negative_ttl 0 seconds I stopped and restarted the server but nothing has changed. My OS is Windows XP. I want to try using 2.7.STABLE9 or 3.1.9 as you suggest, but I cannot find a link to download the binaries for those versions for Windows. What do you suggest? Thanks. - Dave |------------> | From: | |------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Amos Jeffries <squid3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------> | To: | |------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------> | Date: | |------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |12/03/2010 01:01 AM | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------> | Subject: | |------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Re: why is 403 cached? | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| On 03/12/10 16:47, David Q Levitt wrote: > Hi Amos - > > I'm running squid 2.7 STABLE8. > > WRT negative_ttl, I see this comment in squid.conf: > # negative_ttl=n > # TTL for cached negative lookups (default same > # as ttl) > > but don't see any uncommented entries specifying negative_ttl.

You could set it to "0 seconds" explicitly and see if anything changes. IIRC that default works out to 5 minutes. Amos -- Please be using Current Stable Squid 2.7.STABLE9 or 3.1.9 Beta testers wanted for 3.2.0.3
