Bug#385570: please provide a way to expire upstream caches

2006-09-03 Thread Alexander V. Lukyanov 
lftp already has the following options:

http:cache
http:cache-control
hftp:cache
hftp:cache-control

So you can precisely control the squid cache. E.g. turn off cacheing completely:

set http:cache off

(it adds two request headers: `Pragma: no-cache' and `Cache-Control: no-cache')
or specify a cache option, e.g. allow getting old cached files:

set http:cache-control max-stale

which adds corresponding `Cache-Control' request header.
See RFC 2616 for other cache-control directives (cache-request-directive token).

Bug#385570: please provide a way to expire upstream caches

2006-09-01 Thread martin f krafft 
Package: lftp
Version: 3.5.4-1
Severity: wishlist

lftp is *sweet*. Thanks!

I run into some problems though from time to time, when my squid has
cached a file and thus prevents lftp from downloading a newer
version until squid expires the cache.

With wget, I can use --no-cache to work around this. I wish lftp
provided an option to send the required request headers. Ideally,
this would be a switch to get/mget, but it would also be nice to
just have an option to turn on so that get/mget send the header by
default.

Thanks,
