RE: [squid-users] Forward Cache not working

Sorry but I wasn't laughing much while trying to figure out how to get the
text responses originally. The standard ">" to a file in Windows was not
working so I decided to risk a screenshot to expedite. Obviously that was
not the correct route. I have since then found the "-o" parameter on wget
to output to a file.

Here is my client wget command again....

http_proxy=172.17.0.60:3218
wget -S http://www.sortmonster.net/master/Updates/test.xyz -O test.new.gz
--header=Accept-Encoding:gzip --http-user=myuserid --http-passwd=mypassword

Here is the result...

Connecting to 172.17.0.60:3128... connected.
Proxy request sent, awaiting response...

13 Proxy-Connection: close

Here is my current squid config....
acl localnet src 172.16.0.0/12
http_access allow local_net
maximum_object_size 25 MB

Here is the squid access.log for the above request...
1262645523.217 305633 172.17.0.152 TCP_MISS/200 11674081 GET
http://www.sortmonster.net/master/Updates/test.xyz - DIRECT/74.205.4.93
application/x-sortmonster 1262645523.464 122

I understand that authenticated requests are not cache-able unless over
written by Cache-control: public in server respond.

I am assuming this is true even though the wget header responses above dont
indicate any type of Private or Authenticated session. Is the fact that I am
simply including a username and password in the wget command line enough for
squid to assume this is not a cacheable session?

Since I experimented with the squid caching options to no avail last night
could you please suggest a config file line with full syntax that I can try?
Is it simply "Cache-control: public in server respond"?

Thanks

Mike

LOL, can you just email the text in a plain text email? If I didn't know
better
I'd think someone put you up to this- you often are forced to with GUI
output
from which concise ASCII information can not be extracted.

You can look at ietf spec and grep it for each header key wget returned
( assuming you have an easy way to extract these from your jpg
image that should be quite quick LOL). Text is interoperable, images
require you buy some wget-to-ietf-GUI tool that converts the ietf spec
into the same font as your wget output and looks for blocks of
pixles that are the same ( sorry to beat this to death but it comes
up a lot and creates a lot of problems in other contexts).
