[squid-users] Squid4 has extremely low hit ratio due to lacks of ignore-no-cache

[Eliezer Croitoru]

I cannot speak for the Squid project and you may ask the squid-dev more 
about it and also see the release notes about it.
What I can is that the phrase "it's not a bug, it's a feature" can work 
the other way around "it's not a feature, it's a bug" and as you have 
mentioned "it worked yesterday" and yes... some will look at this as a 
bug from a caching point of view.
