[squid-users] Problem using rep_mime_type with 'cache' tag

Hi,

I am trying to configure Squid 3.1.4 (the latest version) to NOT cache response mime type application/vnd.ogc.se_xml (from Geoserver), and cache everything else. The relevant tags in my squid.conf looks like this:

acl acl_wms_xml_error rep_mime_type -i ^application/vnd.ogc.se_xml$ cache deny acl_wms_xml_error

However, Squid still caches it, and this is in the cache.log:

2010/07/29 16:14:25.447| ACLChecklist::preCheck: 0xb83d58 checking 'cache deny acl_wms_xml_error'
2010/07/29 16:14:25.447| ACLList::matches: checking acl_wms_xml_error
2010/07/29 16:14:25.447| ACL::checklistMatches WARNING: 'acl_wms_xml_error' ACL is used but there is no HTTP reply -- not matching.
2010/07/29 16:14:25.447| ACLList::matches: result is false
2010/07/29 16:14:25.447| aclmatchAclList: 0xb83d58 returning false (AND list entry failed to match)
2010/07/29 16:14:25.447| aclmatchAclList: async=0 nodeMatched=0 async_in_progress=0 lastACLResult() = 0 finished() = 0
2010/07/29 16:14:25.447| Checklist.cc(124) check: 0xb83d58 NO match found, returning 1

It seems that when Squid does the check on 'cache deny acl_wms_xml_error', it has not even call the content server yet, so there is no HTTP reply and hence no rep_mime_type value. How do you use the 'cache' tag to NOT to cache a response mime type? I did not want to use http_reply_access because I still want Squid to return the content to the user, but just not cache it.

Thanks.
Roy
