Re: [squid-users] caching objects based on content type

Hello Logu,

You mean to ask, how to configure squid to cache certain objects (like
image/jpeg, application/pdf, etc) irrespective of whether it is a dynamic or
static content . That is, even if the url contains '?' you need to cache
images. Is this correct?

Regards,
Senthil Murugan
