Re: [squid-users] Re: cache issues

Hi,

I tried this suggestion, but the dynamic content still not cached.
the only way that works for me was by adding the Last-modified header.

For testing I added Last-modified header with the current time of the
http request to a single dynamic page, and it got cached.

It is not possible for me to add the Last-modified headers to all my
dynamic pages,
(we'll have to add this header to each and every page)

I notice that almost every site that work with dynamic content don't
have Last-modified and or Etag header, how come that I'm the only one
that run into this problem?
is there anyone out there that manage to cache dynamic content?
how? do you have Last-modified and or Etag header?
