This is for a request for an object that squid doesn't have in
its cache. The client request included an if-modified-since
header. The origin server send back a 304 reply. After the request
is done, Squid still doesn't have the object cached because it never
gets the reply body.
The alternative would be to strip out the client's IMS header so that
squid got thereply body, but this is not supported, and arguably not
even a good idea.
