SquidUpdate.php on this server was checked out from SVN (MW 1.11alpha) on May 11th, 2007. Squid itself is version Version 2.6.STABLE13 as packaged with an RH distribution. I presume that SquidUpdate.php should not be retrying these PURGE requests to the Squid servers if they come back as 404?
Hello, It seems that I have quite the same issue at http://www.wikilivres.info/
This happens with version 1.12.0, not with 1.10.1. Squid is 2.6.5-6etch1 (Debian stable).

Why is it you think this is problematic or abnormal? Is it causing any problems?
It inscrease quite substantially the load on Squid.
The problem has disappeared with MW version 1.13.2.
