RE: PURGE in httpd-accel mode

I have these two lines in my squid.conf. (As open as possible for testing
purposes...

acl PURGE method purge
http_access allow purge

As I mentioned, the purges work fine when I have these:

#httpd_accel_host localhost
#httpd_accel_port 80

But when I remove the #'s, I start getting 403's...

later,
graham

Purge is forbidden unless you have an ACL mentioning the PURGE method.

I am not aware of purge being enabled by enabling HTTP acceleration, and
the source does not look like it is either.
