[squid-users] SUMMARY [squid-users] always_direct dont work

Hi Henrik, it worked!

        Thanks, "no_cache deny <acl>" do what I wanted. I had also
to purge the object from the cache with "client -m PURGE -p 8080 http://web.to.be.checked/"

Followings request to the url are not cached now.

Thanks also to Bart Schelstraete, Adam Aube and Siew Wing who replied.
