I am trying to convince squid to cache the updates provided by SuSE for the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES).
I have tried to set a refresh_pattern but no success.
I must add that the site is password protect and a valid support account must be used to perform the update. Is the password protection the problem or am I doing something else wrong?
It is. See RFC 2616 section 14.8 third paragraph.
When a shared cache (see section 13.7) receives a request
containing an Authorization field, it MUST NOT return the
corresponding response as a reply to any other request, unless one
of the following specific exceptions holds:[followed by a number of criterias whereby the server can allow such responses to be cached, of which Squid only implements the third; 'public content' I think]
