All squid implement HTTP/1.0. The newer ones implement various amounts
of HTTP/1.1, increasing from ~50% in 2.6 to >80% in 3.2.

No, squid does not implement that particular detail (yet). It does the
conservative thing and applies "private" or "no-cache" to the whole
response. That will change in some future release when somebody gets
around to adding support for it.
