How to tune refresh_pattern and quick_abort

Hi all,

I am using squid 1.1.5 now. However, I have some difficulties of
configuring refresh_pattern and quick_abort.

I) If I use default setting of refresh_pattern
   (i.e refresh_pattern 0 20 4320), I find that some
   dynamic sites (says, netscape.com and mircosoft.com)
   need to be refreshed everytime we access them.

   Hence, I change it as "refresh_pattern 60 30 4320", it gets
   better but still need to be refreshed from time to time.

   What is the correct way to set this option so as to tackle these
   sites?

II) I had set the quick_abort as

    quick_abort 10 50 500

    However, I still get the "Interrupt" messages on the web page
    when I reach some client abort web page

    Is there any way to refresh these client abort web pages so
    that the "Interrupt" messages will not be displayed?

III) I found that some plain text file, says some faq part1.. partn,
     the browser pop up the save file window rather than
     displaying the text directly on the browser.

     Is ther any way to configure the squid so that it can
     diplay text file directly on the browser rather than saving
     it into file?

I will very appreciate it if you can give me some hints to solve the
above problem.

Thanks.
