here is the whole log, from startup to bomb. what i do is delete cache.log,
start the squid service, send it a request for a single file (like:
http://www.site.com/images/image.gif) then here is the full contents of
cache.log:

;-) heck, i have no allegiances - i used the 'NT' port coz it's the first
