Thanks Tony for your prompt reply. I think I'll give your solution a try. However, solution in the FAQ entry I referred to before is as simple as 'client -m PURGE http://urltopurge' (FAQ 7.5 I think) I've been unable to make it work though, despite I modified my squid.conf file according to the FAQ. I get an error 'access deny' so I guess there's something I'm missing from squid.conf.
