BELOW URL HELPED ME.

http://cvs.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200503/0305.html

localhost has been defined by deault.

Sc, I chaned as follows.

acl PURGE method PURGE
acl lclhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
http_access allow PURGE lclhost
http_access deny PURGE

then, restarted. It works.

Then , I tried to remove stuff from cache.

some worked. Some DID NOT.

Pls see below
