I do not think Squid3 has any configuration options that would allow you
to add custom headers to requests.

It is possible to hard-code the extra header in Squid sources, of
course. The attached _untested_ patch adds a "Keep-Alive: 300" header,
for example.

It may be easier to add/fake a header on the origin server though, in
Apache config or as a CGI script wrapper.
