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. Mohammed Ali Abbas Asst. CMTS Engineer
