Details

1. Arch Linux Archive:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_Archive
returns improper 302 redirect responses,
which has no "Expires" or "Cache-Control" headers,
and which therefore can not be properly cached by squid,
consequently resulting in repeated needless hits on the archive server

2. the problem is confirmed by squid developers:
http://lists.squid-cache.org/pipermail/squid-users/2020-January/021586.html
http://lists.squid-cache.org/pipermail/squid-users/2020-January/021587.html
http://lists.squid-cache.org/pipermail/squid-users/2020-January/021592.html

3. the solution is to add standard HTTP "Expires" and/or "Cache-Control" headers
when generating responses for repository requests:
https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/*
This task depends upon

I have no idea about the archive but I added some people who might know.

Can you guys check this one out please?

Regardless of what we do, archive.org's redirect will still be uncacheable (unless I'm missing something). Therefore, we might as well leave it as-is for consistency. :)
