[squid-users] icap result caching in squid

[Darren Breeze]

Hi Amos

The Icap service is doing redirects based on client permissions (that may change). What I am doing is just setting the Expires value in the RESP_MOD response when I return a 307 redirect so I can control how long the caches (both Squid and the browser) hang on to it.
