RE: [squid-users] force cache of cgi params...

It is likely caching these if you have them configured correctly and you are
using GET requests. Squid won't cache POST reqs and by default, and doesn't
log the query string to "protect" the privacy of the user, which is not too
useful in lots of situations, you will want to turn on logging of the query
string...

Do this in squid.conf:
strip_query_terms off

Subject: [squid-users] force cache of cgi params...

Greetings all,
        I have a slightly different task in mind for squid. I would like
to cache cgi (specifically fcgi) queries to offload a task on the back end
search component of my website. I have lifted the restrictions for cgi
and ? caching (stoplists), yet when I view the access and store logs,
everything after the ? in my search URL appears to be stripped. So for
example:

someserver.com/fcgi-bin/search/fcg?qry=beer

appears as

someserver.com/fcgi-bin/search/fcg?

in the access/store logs (and I get tcp misses in access.log and SWAPOUT
in the store.log.

Any ideas how I can force squid to cache the entire dynamic URL?

thanks in advance!
