RE: [squid-users] offline mode issue

This is what I thought. However, the cache does not return anything to the client, even any stale content - the cache tries to contact the server just like it is in "online" mode. The client browser eventually times-out, with no content delivered to it.
Could it be that my cache doesn't actually have the content cached? I see it in cachemgr listing. Is there anything else needed to be allowed to use "offline" mode besides making the toggle? Is it possible my browser (IE6) is sending a forced reload request automatically?
Thanks!

offline_mode currently only means "give whatever content found in the
cache even if stale". Squid will still try to retrieve any content not
found in the cache or client forced reloads.
