Re: [squid-users] squid-3 problem with "cache_dir null"

The general syntax of cache_dir is

cache_dir <type> <path> <option>

<path> is what identifies the cache_dir line on "squid -k reconfigure".

the null store actually accepts options.. all the global options is
valid for null. But most isn't very useful with "null".

imho what should be done is that the "null" cache_dir type should be
removed, and on-disk cache only configured if there is an cache_dir line
in squid.conf. No builtin default on-disk cache location.

It's not very useful to combine the "null" cache_dir type with other
cache_dir types. It's purpose is simply to override the built-in default
location.
