Re: [squid-users] acceleration mode question

Hmm interesting, no I did not build squid with that option, I didn't
know about it. And along the same lines I didn't know about the
X-Accelerator-Vary header either so I am pretty sure its not being
used. I will investigate these options now. Thanks very much.
