Well, your proposal is (almost) the same as no_cache (max age 0) which
surely isn't your intention. Also, I think it is safe to assume that if
a query/cgi returned Last-modified, then this truly is a indication of
how stable the object is. But yes, section 13.9 requires that a LMT
factor of 0 is used on HTTP/1.0 query URLs.
So the HTTP/1.1 compliant refresh pattern for Squid is:
refresh_pattern \? 0 0% 1440

And neither the squid.conf comments nor the release notes documents the
actual code (there are a lot more to it than what is said)..
Please make a patch to cf.data.pre and send this to
