[squid-users] Squid didn't cache, but forwarding did work

Hi,

I got my squid running, and it's forwarding packets to the server on
behalf of its clients. But it seems that squid didn't cache any
content as the access log only showed TCP_MISS.

Is there something wrong with my configuration file? Thank you in advance.

Experiment Setup
=========================================================
Client (192.168.6.81) curl -x 192.168.6.17:8080
http://192.168.6.33:8080/index.html
Squid(192.168.6.17) squid.conf and access.log file content are
included in this message
Server(192.168.6.33) Runs a simple web server program.

squid.conf:

#
# Recommended minimum configuration:
#
acl manager proto cache_object
acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 ::1
acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 0.0.0.0/32 ::1

# Recommended minimum Access Permission configuration:
#
# Only allow cachemgr access from localhost
http_access allow manager localhost
http_access deny manager

# Deny requests to certain unsafe ports
http_access deny !Safe_ports

# Deny CONNECT to other than secure SSL ports
http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports

# We strongly recommend the following be uncommented to protect innocent
# web applications running on the proxy server who think the only
# one who can access services on "localhost" is a local user
#http_access deny to_localhost

#
# INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE TO ALLOW ACCESS FROM YOUR CLIENTS
#

# Example rule allowing access from your local networks.
# Adapt localnet in the ACL section to list your (internal) IP networks
# from where browsing should be allowed
http_access allow localnet
http_access allow localhost

# And finally deny all other access to this proxy
http_access deny all

# Squid normally listens to port 3128
#http_port 3128 transparent
http_port 192.168.6.17:8080

# We recommend you to use at least the following line.
hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ?

# Uncomment and adjust the following to add a disk cache directory.
cache_dir ufs /users/user/squid/var/cache 100 16 256

# Leave coredumps in the first cache dir
coredump_dir /users/user/squid/var/cache

# Add any of your own refresh_pattern entries above these.
refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080
refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440
refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0
