Hi,

I upgraded my squid boxes from 3.1 series to 3.2 series. I noticed that
3.2 is not better then 3.1 while concerning with caching capabilities.

I checked for simple web site , which has jpg images and all. as web
site is standard and normal site. So squid must cache it contents. I
tried many times, but each time i saw TCP_MISS in access.log

I checked for a site which is elitecore.com ( as example )

redbot url: http://redbot.org/?descend=True&uri=http://elitecore.com -
it suggests that this site is cacheable.

squid version : 3.2.3

currently, there is no change in squid.conf. I am using default one for
testing purposes.

what could be problem with squid-3.2.3? Is there any changes required
for 3.2.3 configuration or any changes in caching mechanism for 3.2 series?

I tested same site with 3.1. series and it is working fine.

access.log :
