Topic: SQUID Configuration

[Mike]

Not happy with the way items are being cached by SQUID. I want to change the Time to Live of all items in the cache. Also I want to change the size of the items cached as I think the default is 3K which appears a bit small? If possible I want to make sure some items are not cached at all. Is there a server manager panel for SQUID?

Why not?

It's not up to you to do so. The web server providing the content will say how long the content is valid for. Squid respects that information.

If you want a newer version, you can force that from the browser (shift or control refresh, depending on browser).
