Squid by default regards objects which can not be refreshed (no cache
validator, i.e. Last-Modified) and expiring withing 60 seconds as
worthless to cache.

You can tune this with the minimum_expiry_time directive.

Alternatively have your program emit a meaningful Last-Modified header
making Squid think that the object can be validated for freshness.
