Re: Document caching

Hi,

You can do it a number of ways.

1) As already suggested, modify all the squid configs to change the
refresh-pattern.

2) Get your web server to serve meta-data with the pages that specifies
how long to cache the document. With Apache you config with

        --enable-module=cern_meta

and add the Meta directives:

        MetaFiles on
        MetaDir .
        MetaSuffix .meta

Then you can put the meta information in a file called whatever.doc.meta.
