[squid-users] ignore query parameters for cache-lookup logic - squid 3.0.21

Hi,

I am using squid 3.0.21 in reverse proxy mode.

While my clients send requests to our application, the query
parameters are sent to identify the client, whereas the resource
provided is a public resource and not specific to a client.

e.g., the urls will be like:
https://www.public.com/index.pdf?clientID=1234 & my application
returns with cache-control headers of age greater than 1 day.

I see that squid is not retrieving the resource from its cache when
the clientID changes. But instead, the request hits my application
resulting in regeneration of the requested resource.

Is it possible to ignore query parameters for cache retrieval logic?
Can you help me with the configuration for such a requirement? If not
possible with 3.0 squid, any higher version supports this?

Thanks,
Deepak
