Re: [squid-users] Why does squid 2.6 stable 16 running in accelerator mode NEVER caches html requests ?

I found the cause of my problem !!

Apparantly curl uses BY DEFAULT the pragma : no-cache
option ...

This means indeed that the WC never caches the pages.

By using curl-loader (who does not use the no-cache
option) I noticed that indeed object was cached !
so I compared capture of both request and then I
noticed the pragma option ...

I spend 4 days on this default value and I want to
thank you for your effort !
