the term "reverse proxy" is usually used by people who run proxies in froont
of their own webservers, which is not your case. I recommend you to avois
term "reverse" when talking about oproxy for facebook.

When the client asks for "php" file, the webserver usually processes the PHP
file and sends its output (not the php file itself) to the client. 
Don't wander that you don't see the PHP content in it.

better do not do that. I don't know how big part of facebook is cacheable,
but by caching something you should not cache you may break users' privacy
and the application itself.

I think you have been told in squid-users mailing list about this, so let's
better close this issue.
