Hi

Following Todd Wiegel's report on the ipcop-user mailing list that he was
unable to turn off caching, I had a look at the code in the
makesquidconf.plscript and there is a line that should print "cache
deny all" if this test
fails:
if (($proxysettings{'CACHE_SIZE'} > 0) || ($proxysettings{'CACHE_MEM'} > 0))

ie, both CACHE_SIZE and CACHE_MEM have to be 0 to turn off caching

But there is error checking in proxy.cgi that prevents CACHE_MEM being less
than 1

So, at the moment, I think "cache deny all" is broken.

What's the best way to repair? Allow a zero for CACHE_MEM? What might that
break?

The Admin Manual refers to turning off harddisk caching with a 0 in
CACHE_SIZE, but it doesn't mention CACHE_MEM, so perhaps the fix lies in
the makesquidconf.pl script?
