So if I understand you correctly, squid follows the behaviour dictated
in the Netscape Cookie Specification (undated), which says set-cookie
headers should never be cached. However, that was superseded by rfc2109
(1997), which says they should be cached unless told not to.

So by that reasoning, I would say Squid does not follow rfc. Not that I
care that much, but perhaps it would warrant an update in the
documentation or the faq page?
