RE: [squid-users] Forward Cache not working

I have attached is a screenshot of WGET header output with the "-S" option.

I see nothing about "private" in the headers so I'm assuming this content
should be getting cached. Yet, each time I run wget and then view the Squid
access log it shows TCP_MISS on every attempt. I'll try the Ignore Private
parameter in squid just to make sure that isn't the cause.

Very puzzling.

Add a "-S" to wget to output the server headers.

wget -S http://www.sortmonster.net/master/Updates/test.xyz -O test.new.gz
--header=Accept-Encoding:gzip --http-user=myuserid --http-passwd=mypassword

Yes. http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.0/cfgman/refresh_pattern.html

Keyword "ignore-private".
