RE: [squid-users] Im confused

   Basically a cached object is:
 #
 #   FRESH if expires  now, else STALE
 #   STALE if age  max
 #   FRESH if lm-factor  percent, else STALE
 #   FRESH if age  min
 #   else STALE
 #
 
 
 This a sort of algorithm I read in the squid.conf file of 
 Squid 2.5 Stable7.
 What I don't get is the first line states that an object is 
 fresh if the
 expiry time is less than the current time. As I see it if the 
 expiry time
 has passed and the current time is larger than that how come 
 ab object can
 be fresh or else stale.
 
 
 
 I thought expiry time is an absolute value. There is no 'relative
context' w.r.t current time. So either it passed or not, and the
algorythm is correct.
