Hey All, Does squid cache web-pages when configured in the forward interception proxy mode i.e http_port x:y intercept.? If so how can it be turned off.? I actually want to bench-mark squid performance in terms of requests-per-second that squid can support. I do not want squid to cache the web pages on which i am doing the test. The reason is obvious that i do not want squid to service that page from its cache.:). I want it to get the pages from the server every time. I am using AB(apache-benchmark) to do a comparison between request process times when squid is inline vs when squid is not there. Looking at the access.log file gives this for my test page. 1335266704.412 0 192.168.8.39 TCP_REFRESH_UNMODIFIED/200 601 GET http://158.1.4.2/elastica.html - DIRECT/158.1.4.2 text/html 1335266704.415 0 192.168.8.39 TCP_REFRESH_UNMODIFIED/200 601 GET http://158.1.4.2/elastica.html - DIRECT/158.1.4.2 text/html 1335266704.416 1 192.168.8.39 TCP_REFRESH_UNMODIFIED/200 601 GET http://158.1.4.2/elastica.html - DIRECT/158.1.4.2 text/html 1335266704.418 1 192.168.8.39 TCP_REFRESH_UNMODIFIED/200 601 GET http://158.1.4.2/elastica.html - DIRECT/158.1.4.2 text/html 1335266704.418 0 192.168.8.39 TCP_REFRESH_UNMODIFIED/200 601 GET http://158.1.4.2/elastica.html - DIRECT/158.1.4.2 text/html 1335266704.420 0 192.168.8.39 TCP_REFRESH_UNMODIFIED/200 601 GET http://158.1.4.2/elastica.html - DIRECT/158.1.4.2 text/html 1335266704.423 0 192.168.8.39 TCP_REFRESH_UNMODIFIED/200 601 GET http://158.1.4.2/elastica.html - DIRECT/158.1.4.2 text/html The TCP_REFRESH_UNMODIFIED request status makes me think that squid is serving me the page from its cache and not retrieving it from its actual source. Am i right? -- Regards, -Ahmed Talha Khan
