Where am I doing the mistake?? > That pattern works fine for me. Must be something to do with the regex library on your system. I think the error message is about the (x-|)flv piece. The absence of anything between | and ) is the only bit that coudl be called an 'empty sub-expression' there. You might have to change that to x-flv|flv. > On the other side, I see the following warnings also: > > 2016/08/11 06:57:33| WARNING: use of 'override-expire' in 'refresh_pattern' violates HTTP > 2016/08/11 06:57:33| WARNING: use of 'override-lastmod' in 'refresh_pattern' violates HTTP > 2016/08/11 06:57:33| WARNING: use of 'reload-into-ims' in 'refresh_pattern' violates HTTP > 2016/08/11 06:57:33| WARNING: use of 'ignore-reload' in 'refresh_pattern' violates HTTP > > I have enabled these options "override-expire override-lastmod reload-into-ims ignore-reload" on some other patterns. Is this wrong?? Those are WARNINGs. Not an error. They instruct Squid to do things which are outside the HTTP specification. You may encounter trouble with some traffic because of that changed behaviour. The warnings are there to make sure you awre aware something risky is being done, and when you run into trouble with those options it is probably not Squid bugs but your choice to violate the standard HTTP behaviour which caused it.
