thanks marc, i knowed this page already, it's a really nice one. but my problem is: does squid never caches an object without validation headers (expires, max-age, lastmod,...)? if i have a refresh-pattern like refresh_pattern . 0 20% 5 such an object should retain at most 5 minutes in cache, shouldn't it? or is refresh_pattern only used if an object has validation headers?
