I need check if an object is in squid cache or not. I use squid 3.2.0.12 on Fedora 16. I saw that squidclient should do this but it said that objects are "MISS" and I don't know why because they are cached. (I checked it with Wireshark) I tried executing this command: squidclient -h localhost -p 3128 -t 1 "http://192.168.230.10/myvideos/VEA_ESP.mov" and this is the result: HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 Allow: POST, GET, DELETE, OPTIONS, PUT, HEAD Content-Length: 0 Date: Wed, 04 Dec 2013 10:40:25 GMT X-Cache: MISS from pc02 X-Cache-Lookup: MISS from pc02:3128 Via: 1.1 pc02 (squid/3.2.0.12) Connection: close Why is giving the Method not allowed error? Why is answering that objects are "MISS" when they are cached?
