The statement in squid.conf.documented is accurate: When parsing size-related options that support units, Squid interprets the KB suffix as 1024 bytes. This classic/legacy interpretation predates and violates some of the modern conventions/standards. I do not anticipate changes in this area because it is not trivial to make such changes backwards-compatible, and because we should solve much bigger problems first.
Please note that Squid may use a different KB definition in other contexts, especially in various reports and cache.log messages. Alex. _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@lists.squid-cache.org http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
