FW: [squid-users] accelerator override caching of dynamic pages
Hi, Sorry for reposting but does anybody have any ideas on the email below
before I dive into the source and try to over-ride the http headers manually
to suit my needs?

thanks again,
Charlie

Subject: [squid-users] accelerator override caching of dynamic pages

Hi everybody,
I am trying to use squid in accelerator mode to cache frequently requested
pages with query strings.
I realise that the headers of the pages do not pass the cachability tests
but I want to override them as I know the frequency with which these pages
will change and I need to reduce load on our web servers.
The various setup and log files are below. Can anybody help me to override
the settings from the web server so that I stop getting TCP_MISS?
Unfortunately I cannot change the headers on the web server.
thanks in advance,
Charlie Schofield

I have set the following in squid.conf:
acl QUERY urlpath_regex \?
no_cache allow QUERY
refresh_pattern \? 60 50% 4320 ignore-reload override-expire
override-lastmod reload-into-ims
as a test to try and catch everything with a query string for 60 mins
access log always comes up with a TCP_MISS
1065004636.275 70 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/200 4319 GET
http://webserverurl/xml/nav/nav2.jhtml? - DIRECT/136.121.243.198 text/xml
The headers are as follows:
GET
http://localhost:3128/xml/nav/nav2.jhtml?styleSheet=/css/h_home.css&ie=true&cached=&xmlpath=/xml/nav/nav2.jhtml&activenav=&
