[SQU] Redirectors

Hi all,

A very quick question. What is the logic behind paying attention to a 302
response from a redirector process only when the original page being
requested is a cache miss ?

Eg. if I request (with redirectors disabled) a page like
'http://www.cnn.com', I get cnn.com. Good.

I then put a redirector in which sends 302:http://www.yahoo.com to stdout
for everything it receives.

Hey presto - using squid's 'client' program, all I get is cnn.com again,
rather than a 302 response instructing me to go to www.yahoo.com.

Now I've looked at the debugging output from client_side.c, and at the
source, and it seems that a 301 or 302 will only be sent if we get into
clientProcessMiss.

Why?

Thanks for any help,

Luke.
