Hi, I try to use squid to cache rpm packages fetched from a yum repository. With the following configuration, it works well for a small rpms, but it would not cache larger ones like openjdk. From the log file (below), it seems that it does not cache files larger than 4MB even though the maximum_object_size 128 MB is set. Any suggestions what might be wrong? squid.conf: ---------- acl SSL_ports port 443 acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 # https acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow localhost manager http_access deny manager http_access allow localhost http_access allow all http_port 3128 transparent cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid3 4048 16 256 maximum_object_size 128 MB refresh_pattern Packages\.bz2$ 0 20% 4320 refresh-ims refresh_pattern Sources\.bz2$ 0 20% 4320 refresh-ims refresh_pattern Release\.gpg$ 0 20% 4320 refresh-ims refresh_pattern Release$ 0 20% 4320 refresh-ims refresh_pattern -i .(deb|rpm|exe|zip|tar|tgz|bz2|ram|rar|bin)$ 129600 100% 129600 override-expire ignore-no-cache ignore-no-store refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 access log while installing openjdk: ---------- 1400481405.110 408 172.17.0.3 TCP_MISS/200 852 GET http://mirrorlist.centos.org/? -
