Re: [squid-users] Caching Pandora

I was able to cache Pandora by compiling with --enable-http-violations
and using a refresh_pattern to cache everything regardless. This however
broke everything by preventing proper refreshing of any site. If it
could be worked where violations only happened as directly specified in
the configuration it would be a workable solution. I did some testing
and I could not confirm that it was anything in the configuration file
itself that was causing the issue. I wouldn't recommend using this as such.
