Re: What squid does with no cacheable pages?

Henrik, I need to know what portion of the code is
responsible for the application level bridge you told
in your last e-mail, a long time ago by the way,
(there is a copy below of my question and your
answer), it's important for me because of my
graduation assignment, I'll need to point it out to
sustain my arguments.

Regards,
    Leandro Scott
