[squid-users] URLs not being cached

Hi,
I am using squid 3.2.9 , for some reason it is not caching objects
which used to be cached easily with 2.7 ... anyone else having similar
issue ?

bellow is an example :

The following URL is not getting into my squid cache no matter what I do :(
http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_plugin.exe

wget -d http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_plugin.exe
