intellicast.com errors

Hello fellow Squid users,

I noticed recently a problem with accessing the Intellicast weather pages.
In particular we were visiting http://www.intellicast.com/weather/pdx ...

Initially we were getting the following error:

["Error processing this directive"]

Usually reloading/refreshing the page seemed to clear things up, but the
customers just didn't like having to do that unecessary step.

In taking a look at the code on the intellicast site it see a meta tag
with the "Pragma" and "no-cache" arguments. Assumably this is their
attempt at stopping Squid from caching their pages. I'm not really sure
exactly what this does to Squid (ie: does it really prevent caching?).

Anyway, I seem to have fixed the problem by adding "intellicast" to the
cache_stoplist. Does this sound like the right thing to do? Does anyone
have any experience with such an error, or have any better suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,
Marcus Hecht
