[squid-users] Vedr.: Re: [squid-users] TCP_REFRESH_HIT - still have the problem

Hi Henrik,

I seem to have found the problem:

I set reload_into_ims off and it now takes everything from the cache -
unless I purge a URL..

However this change, stabilized the freeze problem.. it now freezes almost
everytime I access one of the two sites..
if the client has seen the site before (ie. it might ask for
If-Modified-Since instead) it freezes.. this happens both with Netscape 4.6
and IE 5..

It might. The ignore-reload and override-expire options only covers some
of the possibilities.

If you also enable log_mime_hdrs then we have some more info to go on.

Squid does not at all care if the request is a text/html or a image/gif.
To Squid they all are the same, just data of some type. The only
difference may be in other headers returned by your server, or in how
your browser behaves while you are testing.
