Again, it depends on your refresh_pattern settings. Only if Squid sees that the response will be considered fresh for more than 60 seconds, or if it has revalidation headers allowing revalidation (mainly Last-Modified) will it get cached. So refresh_pattern is used both to determine if the response should be cached and to determine if a later request can be satisfied from the prior cached entry. > if i have explicit entries for refresh_patterns, but no default rule and one > object misses my rules. will it then be regarded as fresh or stale? If there is no matching refresh_pattern then the builtin defaults are used (min=0, percent=20%, max=4320) Regards Henrik
