I have squid setup as a reverse proxy and am trying to get one page excluded
 from cache.  I thought I could do this with url_regex or urlpath_regex.  Is
 my syntax wrong because the page still gets cached?  How do I get one URL e
xcluded?  2 examples of the
URLs that would be excluded are
http://test.test.com/classifieds-bi...
ion=employment
and
http://test.test.com/classifieds-bi...&classification
=autos&date=today,sunday_before(today)&orderby=start_date:d

Here is what I put in the squid.conf file.
acl excludeURL url_regex test.test.com\/classifieds-bin\/classifieds?temp_ty
pe=detail&category_number=333&classification
=auto&date=today,sunday_before(today)&orderby=start_date:d
no_cache deny excludeURL

Thanks for the help.

You have to escape the ? also.

acl excludeURL url_regex
test.test.com\/classifieds-bin\/classifieds\?temp_type=detail&category_numbe
r=333&classification
=auto&date=today,sunday_before(today)&orderby=start_date:d

This is not correct regex syntax for the given URL, and why have you left
out the protocol part? You should also bind the pattern to start/end of
line.

It is mainly ., ? and + you need to escape as these have special meaning
in regex. There is also a few other special characters but these is not
very often seen in URLs. There is no need to escape the / as / is just /
and nothing special.

Complete list of special characters in regex: ^.[]$()|*+?{}\

See

man 7 regex

for a in-depth description of the regex language. Squid uses what is known
as "Modern/Extended" regex, not the old style regex syntax.

Thanks Andreas, sorry my fault.  I escaped the '?' but the page appears to s
till be cached after I restart squid by doing a ./squid -k kill then a ./squ
id.
I am I still seeing a
TCP_HIT:NONE
in the access log not
TCP_MISS:DIRECT

Maybe you have to purge the already cached copy.
Try:

# squidclient -p <port> -m PURGE
'http://test.test.com/classifieds-bin/classifieds?temp_type....'
