Two questions: 1. What is your refresh_pattern settings?
2. What is the full headers returend by your server? Just tested this with Squid-2.5 and a reply with only a Date header and some content is cached if your refresh_pattern says it should be. Note: The default refresh_pattern settings does not cache such replies for the reasons indicated before.
