Re: Increase caching time

Yes I want images to be cached for 150 days and no matter what I dont want
to expire. What I noticed was that the cache was filled 5 GB then the next
day I have 1.5GB left ! All the objects simply disappeared. Would
override-expire work on squid2.1-PATCH2.

When the objects expire are they removed (purged) from the cache ?
