Re: [squid-users] regex wildcard for refresh_pattern

> Is the regex wildcard for refresh_pattern a '.*' or just a '.'.

. and * have the same meaning in Squid as in any other regex system. We
use the OS regex libraries to interpret them.
'.' means any single character, * means none-or-more repeating.

Just to be sure it only matches them, I'd use:
   -i name\.jar-[^\.]+\.zip
