Amos,
Thanks for the suggestion but I thought offline_mode would not attempt
to access the origin server and would merely return the cached content
that it has, is this correct? If so is there a way to override its
behaviour to serve from the cache just when the origin is down?
Essentially what I would like is for squid to cache everything and serve
up the cache when the origin is down. Even though this is all contained
on our own wan attempting to get everyone to set the stale-if-error
header is too difficult . We have a number of RESTful services that
other services are dependent on and when those REST services are
unavailable we still want to have the other services that depend on that
data to function properly, even if it means the potential of using stale
data.
Thanks

I'm not exactly certain of the full behavior of offline_mode.
I do know that its not a true offline, but does aggressive caching like
you asked for.
Some testing is in order to see if it meets your needs or not. Until a
better version comes along.

Try offline_mode on.
Which is not a true offline, but an aggressive caching mode.
