My understanding is:
client no-cache or "reload" requests
= If the client fetches a page with its cache empty or with a "shift-reload"
will be changed to If-Modified-Since requests
= Squid will ignore these no-cache headers and only retrieve objects that are more recent.
But... it does not work for me... :/
I have reload_into_ims on (plus ignore-reload ignore-no-cache in refresh_pattern) and each time I do a shift-reload in my browser, squid fetches again the whole page from the web server, even when he has everything already in its cache...
