Re: What means nocache_hack in Squid-2.5.PRE6?

no_cache == when the HTTP request indicates we should/must bypass the
cache.

nocache_hack == when squid.conf is configured to circument the
no_cache HTTP criteria..

    if (no_cache) {
#if HTTP_VIOLATIONS
        if (Config.onoff.reload_into_ims)
            request->flags.nocache_hack = 1;

This is reload_into_ims. See squid.conf..

        else if (refresh_nocache_hack)
            request->flags.nocache_hack = 1;

And this refers to similar things, but from refresh_pattern. See
cache_cf.c and refresh_pattern in squid.conf..

Hint: Whenever you see Config.<something> then see cf.data.pre to
locate the squid.conf directive for configuring this item.

Henrik
