Re: [squid-users] No-cache

Hi Amos,

Indeed it does, but the proxy is for a custom server/browse setup and
it's essential the browser doesn't cache, however, the server behind
squid is performing expensive operations so I want squid to cache it.

Basically, I would cache in the browser, but I don't have granular
enough control to cache content in the way I need. site1.com might
look one way 1 second and then immediately serve completely different
content based on what a user does (a different header is sent).
Essentially the browser is getting confused and bleeding content
between these two (what it believes are identical, but aren't) sites.

In short, this isn't for browsing the internet :)
