I have just updated several pages on my home page. Browsers that do
not use SQUID get the new pages. Firefox uses SQUID, and gets the old
pages. If I set Firefox to bypass SQUID and refresh, I get the new
material. If I then set Firefox to use SQUID and refresh, I then get
the old page.
Is that really down to Squid or the website, itself. Do you set expiry
headers, properly, with your pages?
If your site is set to allow caching of pages since a certain date, or
since modified, or since accessed, for a certain amount of time, then
things can keep using the cached version until after the expiry period,
and they don't have to check for newer versions (that's a user
preference).
Some browser "refreshes" are just a redraw of what they've got, not a
re-fetch of the page.
