[squid-users] Squid 3.1.6, fails to cache static content

Hi there,

    Quick basic config question on a different server I have had to
set-up. The server refuses to cache any items. Static test page
(3751bytes) always give a cache MISS. I am unsure what I missed ;(
Apologies for a such a simple configuration question.

I presume that it is a problem with the cache_peer directive, but this
should make sense to me if the proxy-only option was there, but its not.

The cache is setup and initialised (I did this with the squid3 -z option).

Regards.
