Why are pages from this site not getting cached?

        I am having trouble geting pages from www.ab.com cached by my squid
        instance.

        A clinet -m HEAD of the top page returns:

        $ /usr/local/sbin/client -m HEAD http://www.ab.com/
        HTTP/1.0 200 OK
        Server: Netscape-Enterprise/3.6 SP1
        Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2000 14:04:58 GMT
        Content-Type: text/html
        X-Cache: MISS from freebsd.westvaco.com
        Proxy-Connection: close

        So it appeasr that i am not getting last modified, or expier times, so
        I have the following in squid.conf

        refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080
        refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440
        refresh_pattern -i .gif$ 4320 90% 8640 override-expire override-lastmod
        refresh_pattern -i .jpg$ 4320 90% 8640 override-expire override-lastmod
        refresh_pattern -i .jpeg$ 4320 90% 8640 override-expire override-lastmod
        refresh_pattern . 2880 60% 4320

        I would expect that the last line would cause any page without a
        explicit expire time, or last modified to be cached. Is this an
        incorrect assumption on my part?

        In any case, what can I do to get pages from this site cached?

        Thanks for helping out a newbit on this.
