Re: [squid-users] TCP_MISS:DIRECT problems with http_accel configuration and cache (help please)

You have a line

no_cache deny QUERY

I believe that implies the next line is

no_cache allow all

Which would kill caching.

I think so, anyway. Safest thing to do is be explicit about

no_cache deny all

at the end of your no_cache section.
