Two problems with that:
  F5 (force-reload) is a method for users to retry and get a working
page load after some error. It sends headers requesting fresh new
non-cached content to avoid any proxy created problem in the previous load.
   The config which you posted did not have the ignore-cc option for
http_port to ignore the client headers.

Also, "server side caching" in all the definitions I can find easily are
not relevant to proxies. They are describing systems that operate solely
*internally* to the web server application. At most they provide a way
to send the correct cacheability headers outward.
