It *is* possible in Squid-1.1.x. Excerpt from the Release-Notes: "Squid 1.1 switched from a Time-To-Live based expiration model to a Refresh-Rate model. Objects are no longer purged from the cache when they expire. Instead of assigning TTL's when the object enters the cache, we now check freshness requirements when objects are requested. " Minimum age can be given for specific URL patterns. By default it is set to zero for all URL patterns, but for cache-unfriendly sites it is usually changed... HTTP/1.1's Cache-control: max-age=... is also implemented and as the Release-Notes say "the Max-Age in a client request takes the highest precedence" (when checking the freshness of a URL).
