Hi Henrik
thanks for your reply.
Sorry., I think I have not put my problem correctly. I have a microsoft
webserver and I want squid to act as a reverse proxy for it. The url is
something like http://www.abc.net/pixdll?no=24. Mostly the content type
servered from these type of url is image/jpeg. But squid thinks these pages
are not cachable and these images are not cached. Is it possible to cache
these objects (based on the content type header).

Thanks
