Re: [squid-users] why is 403 cached?

Hi Amos -

In squid.conf I've now specified: negative_ttl 0 seconds
I stopped and restarted the server but nothing has changed.

My OS is Windows XP. I want to try using 2.7.STABLE9 or 3.1.9 as you
suggest, but I cannot find a link to download the binaries for those
versions for Windows.

What do you suggest?

Thanks.

- Dave

You could set it to "0 seconds" explicitly and see if anything changes.

IIRC that default works out to 5 minutes.
