[squid-users] negative_ttl and HTTP/1.1 compliance

AFAICT having negative_ttl > 0 is a violation of HTTP/1.1 section 13.4
(last two paragraphs). If this is the case, I should set negative_ttl=0
when Squid is used as a general-purpose proxy server. I know that Squid
doesn't claim full HTTP/1.1 support, but many clients nowadays use
HTTP/1.1 would benefit from having Squid being to support so much of
HTTP/1.1 as possible.

Do you agree with this?
