Yeah. The squid.conf doc syntax says 'Header-Name regex-pattern" as two
separate items. Which in Squid is space separated.
I was just wondering if regex did something nasty and took a single .
and omitted the otherwise implicit .* pre/suff-ix when a plain . was given.

A single dot does work for refresh_pattern though so no I was thinking
badly when I wrote that.

Not in 2.6. That old obsolete release we don't support anymore.
