Re: Caching of Restricted Area

There is a difference in shared and private caches. Private caches (as
in browser caches) might cache private content, but shared caches (as in
caching proxies) might not unless the server gives them permission to do
so.

Or are you saying that Squid did give cache hits on objects you thought
were password protected? Is so, please verify that the objects are
indeed password protected and not located in a non-protected part of
your server, or marked as public.
