[squid-users] TCP_REFRESH_HIT for FRESH object?

Hi,

I continue to play with squid (squid-2.5.STABLE1-20021119).
Still a bit disappointed of low hit ratio.

I took this particular URL as a hacking target:
http://chat.ilyichevsk.net/chat/designes/super/love_style.css

I repeatedly get
TCP_REFRESH_HIT/304 231 GET http://.../love_style.css
(i.e. IMS does go to the origin server)
when it is accessed from chat page but it scores TCP_HIT
if I try to wget it or type url in fresh browser window.

I set debug_options to 22,3 , go to the chat room and I see:

access.log

(MISSes are okay, REFRESH_HITs are my worry)

But looking in cache.log, I see that actually love_style.css
is FRESH, not STALE as determined by refresh.c code!
It gets misreported in access.log or what?
