If you look closely at the reply you will see that it is a 304 reply. The
browsers do not ask for the object, they ask if the object has been
changed compared to the copy they already have.

Squid currently cannot cache such validations unless it has the object
cached.

Because then your browser will request the object on next request, causing
Squid to cache it.
