A web page wouldn't, but the HTTP response containing the HTML object/page
may.

Surely the web page author (i.e. myself) is responsible for specifying expiry and cache
control details?

Squid follows the HTTP specifications on what may be cached, and quite
closely matches what the cacheability check engine reports.
 
You can tweak this in by the refresh_pattern setting.

This is what I did before and got myself into terrible trouble.
 
Do you have any suggestions for what to change?
