[squid-users] reverse proxy caching session id

Hi Amos,

that's going to be a problem, we can't really change our web application.
on top of that, we uses url rewrite for the our site.
the url look like this
www.sitedomain.com/controller/session_id/other_stuff/..

is there any work around that we can do with squid's conf file?
changing the session handling is really not a option for us.

Thanks again
kevin

Yes. For this case you NEED the default cache deny for queries with ?
With squid its better to pass it as a cookie (which apparently gets
stripped from any cached objects).
