Re: When the redirect [301, 302, 307] is cached by Squid?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thats what the "must-revalidate" means. It should work better with just max-age or Expires header - and with a longer value than 60 sec since this is supposed to be a *permanent* situation.

As I know "must-revalidate" mean "refuse to return stale responses to the user even if they say that stale responses are acceptable" - cached object must be revalidated.

Max-age=60 was only used for testing.

The results of my testing:

- redirect 302 or 307 - to be cached needs Cache-Control max-age > 0 or Expires "access plus 1 seconds"
- redirect 301 - to be cached needs Cache-Control max-age > 60 or Expires "access plus 61 seconds"

This is strange because I thought that 301 is always cached without Cache-Control or Expires headers. And I can't find any information in the documentation which describes such behaviour.

Hi Amos,

    302 and 307 are not because as their status description indicates

You were right. After I added header Cache-Control "max-age=60, must-revalidate" to the redirects, then the response was cached. Thank you for clarification.

    301 should be cached unless the object would need revalidation
    immediately.


But for 301 I always get MISS - with and without a cache-control header:

$ curl -v http:/test.example.com/img301.jpg <http://test.example.com/img301.jpg>

GET /img301.jpg HTTP/1.1
Host: test.example.com <http://test.example.com>
User-Agent: curl/7.50.1
Accept: */*

< HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
< Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2017 06:44:41 GMT
< Server: Apache
< Cache-Control: max-age=60, must-revalidate
< Location: http://test.example.com <http://test.example.com>/img.svg
< Content-Length: 247
< Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
< X-Cache: MISS from <squid-proxy>
< X-Cache-Lookup: MISS from <squid-proxy>:3128

I can't find any information on Squid wiki or via Google if the object need revalidation immediately.

Thats what the "must-revalidate" means. It should work better with just max-age or Expires header - and with a longer value than 60 sec since this is supposed to be a *permanent* situation.
