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

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

 



There is no >60 need on the 301. Just me suggesting that 60sec is too short caching time for a _permanent_ thing.

There is - may be some misconfiguration in my squid.conf.

If I set max-age to values from interval <1;60> only 302 and 307 redirects were cached (HIT) and no 301. When I increased the max-age value to 61 then the 301 redirect was cached too.


But you are right, that the cause of no-caching the 301 redirect is the min value of:
refresh_pattern .		0	20%	4320

But for redirects 302 and 307 the above-mentioned refresh_pattern is ignored.


My source server is Apache and the corresponding configuration is:

RewriteRule /img301.jpg /img.svg [R=301,L,E=rcache:1]
RewriteRule /img302.jpg /img.svg [R=302,L,E=rcache:1]
RewriteRule /img307.jpg /img.svg [R=307,L,E=rcache:1]

Header always set Cache-Control "max-age=3" env=rcache

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.

It should be, so long as it is fresh so that means it does depend on refresh_pattern saying it is fresh when no controls are present.
