I want that squid bothers the remote server, but only a little bit, to ask if
the requested object has been modified (HTTP CONDITIONAL GET).
If the object has not been modified it will be delivered to the web browser
directly from the squid cache, saving bandwidth with the remote server.

This way squid will always update to the last version the objects in its
cache. When one web user requests any object, he will always get the last
version of it, never a fresh cache object that may have been recently
modified in the remote server :-)

I have modified this in the squid.conf file and restarted the squid server.
refresh_pattern . 0 0% 0

I belive that is all I have to do to make squid behaves this way, isn't it ?

Greetings.
