The default squid.conf file contains the following lines:
acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
no_cache deny QUERY
Which states that URL path containing either the string "cgi-bin" or a
question mark (?) will not be cached. Usually that's a safe bet, as
both contain dynamic content that is not guaranteed to have freshness
information included. Either comment out the default no_cache line or
add lines like...
acl mysite dstdomain .server.com
acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
no_cache allow mysite
no_cache deny QUERY
...to specify that all requests in the domain server.com should be
eligible for caching. I'm not certain the second option will work, but
it's worth a try...
