Re: store entry question

Normally you don't.. instead you create another StoreEntry with the same
key and fill it with your data.. The new object will automatically
invalidate the "older" object as soon as you assign the public key to
your new object.

The exception to this is when Squid is fetching data from the network.
Then a StoreEntry may be reset if it is decided before any data have
been sent to the client that the data retrieved so far is no good and
should be immediately thrown away to allow for another attempt to
retrieve the object. This is about the only case where it is safe to
reset an existing StoreEntry.

What is is actually you are trying to do here?
