[squid-users] New Accel Reverse Proxy Cache is not caching everything... how to force?

Hello,

Ive setup my first reverse proxy to accelerate a site, ive used wget
to spider the entire site several times and noticed that even after
running it some files never get cached like html files! I presume it
is because the htmls dont have the correct cache headers.

It didnt even want to cache up .swf files, but then I added this line
and it helped a lot but not completely.

refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 ignore-reload

Iam thinking then the best approach is to make squid cache EVERYTHING,
and then manually give it specific exceptions of dynamic content (
like .php and some .html with embedded php scripts). I dont want to
start editting files because I want to test the performance increase
before adding headers one by one.

If anybody suggests something better,, could someone advise me how to
force it to cache everything and an example on how to make exceptions?
 Ive been looking at the faq without much help...

Ive also tried using

refresh_pattern \.html$ 60 80% 180
refresh_pattern \.htm$ 60 80% 180

With the objective of forcing it to cache, but it isnt working.

Thanks!
