Hi All,
I am new to Squid and having installed it on my local linux box, I want to confirm things are being cached.
I have access to cache manager, and from what I can see, not everything is shown to what I expect. ie not all JPG files are listed in "All Cache Objects".
I am also getting TCP/MISS on my access log for most images except for one which is why I am not sure if it's working correctly. I am focusing on bbc.co.uk for testing.
Here is my config file
*********************
#
# Recommended minimum configuration:

# We strongly recommend the following be uncommented to protect innocent

#
# 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

# We recommend you to use at least the following line.

# Uncomment and adjust the following to add a disk cache directory.

# Cache images only - CL

# Leave coredumps in the first cache dir

# Add any of your own refresh_pattern entries above these.

*****************************************************************
Basically, I added acl commands for bbc.co.uk, cache only images, initially wrote a refresh_pattern for jpg, but this is now commented out.
Any advice and guidance on how I confirm everything is working on how it should be would be appreciated.
Thx
