[squid-users] pages not being cached

[Eliezer Croitoru]

Hey Cindy,

In any case a "change" from the RFC can be "dangerous" if you do know 
the target application\site\files\objects and you can define them in a 
matching refresh_pattern then you are safe enough to turn it on.
The danger in this option is that squid will try to verify first if the 
object it has is matching IMS and in most cases it will be against the 
origin server.
If the origin server do play it's role and uses basic RFC 
recommendations then there is no danger in using it.
Only if the origin server was configured and programed very bad it would 
be a 100% risk.

The service in the logs states "must-revalidate" which should be using 
IMS and it seems that it supports it by default.

I think that if you have enough knowledge about this specific service 
you can turn on the "reload-into-ims".
