Hi there,

     Quick basic config question on a different server I have had to
set-up.  The server refuses to cache any items.  Static test page
(3751bytes) always give a cache MISS.  I am unsure what I missed ;(
Apologies for a such a simple configuration question.

I presume that it is a problem with the cache_peer directive, but this
should make sense to me if the proxy-only option was there, but its not.

No. 304 mesages do not have any object to be cached. Only 200, 4xx, or 5xx replies have object data to be stored. You can see the size of transfer in those entries is never 3751 bytes, only 259 bytes happen each time.

Also depends on the Cache-Control properties of both request and reply.

Clear your browser cache between tests or use a tool like squidclient, wget, or curl to test with. Though be careful some tools force-refresh. Glaring at (old?) curl versions there.


512KB seems a bit small of maximum object stored. Web 2.0 "pages" can be huge and made from very large objects. Caching those extreme wasters is where most of the speed gain from squid comes.
