[squid-users] http request not caching Please Help..!!!

Hi all,

Why is squid not caching http request? I always get TCP_MISS..!!!

I installed squid v2.2 STABLE 4 as per "Deploying Squid Part 1" by Jeff
Dean that was published on
The O'Reilly Network

http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2000/02/07/tutorial.html

The only changes I did to the default configuration was:

http_port 6000
cache_dir /usr/local/squid/cache 100 16 256
cache_access_log /usr/local/squid/logs/access.log
cache_log /usr/local/squid/logs/cache.log
cache_store_log /usr/local/squid/logs/store.log
cache_swap_log /usr/local/squid/logs/swap.log

I changed http_access deny all TO http_access allow all.
I know this is high risk. But in my case I am using a local network and it
is in a test environment.

My URL http://panther.aus.hp.com/soar.tar generates the following in the
squid access.log

1015286365.529 1 15.73.168.201 TCP_MISS/401 743 GET
http://panther.aus.hp.com/soar.tar - DIRECT/panther.aus.hp.com text/html
1015286377.137 5672 15.73.168.201 TCP_MISS/200 2171213 GET
http://panther.aus.hp.com/soar.tar - DIRECT/panther.aus.hp.com
application/x-tar

This is the header information from panther

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

I have been at this for 7 days with no end in sight. Any help or pointers
will be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks
