I gained access to the code of gen.cgi and made few changes:
printf("Cache-Control: max-age=600, s-maxage=300\n");
printf("Last-Modified: %s\n",mdate);
It now fetches timestamp from the URL, parses it to appropriate format
and then outputs as Last-Modified header. Plus I added Cache-Control.
Results are noticable - now I get most of TCP_REFRESH_UNMODIFIED/304
on my test page (gen.cgi links don't change there, so all timestamps
remain the same all the time).
Thank you a lot for these suggestions!
However, I still can't make these URLs/images cached on my squid. Is
there any chance they can be served directly from squid cache when
they do not change? Right now I have reduced network bandwidth
obviously, but not sure about CPU load - it still takes almost the
same time to load URL (about 8 seconds).
Do you have any further tips?
