And a bad Expires: header.

The "Cache-Control: no-cache", and "Expires: 0" headers are most likely
added by the uniface software to prevent caching of returned pages.
Without getting rid of these it will be very hard to get Squid to cache
the result...

How do uniface plug into Apache? As a Apache module, JServ or as a CGI
program?

Note: The question on how to get uniface to output cache friendly
documents belongs more on a uniface or mailing list than here..

If all else fails, you might be able to recode Squid to ignore those
headers, but it is very much preferred if the problem can be addressed
at the origin server. (often when such hacks are added to Squid people
think they are smart and starts abuse them to improve the hit ratio in
proxies, often without understanding what they are doing, then
complaining when things break in bad ways for the users)
