Re: [squid-users] Can only GET with never_direct deny

You probably want

always_direct allow localnet
never_direct allow all

A big difference between GET/POST is that GET will always use your
parents unless overridden by always_direct, and POST will never use
your parents unless forced by never_direct..

GET is usually seen as a cacheable request
POST is never seen as a cacheable request

Squid by default only uses parents on requests where it thinks the
result may be cached.

Note: The default setting is equivalent to
always_direct deny all
never_direct deny all

Which says that Squid is not forced to go direct on any requests, and
not forced to use parents on any requests, allowing Squid to pick
what it feels is most suitable for the request in question.
