[squid-users] How to avoid caching of objects with Set-Cookie?

I am aware of the recommendations in RFC 2965 (and in RFC 2109), but
it's an unfortunate fact that many web sites don't follow these RFCs.
They happily send out responses like this

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Netscape-Enterprise/4.1
Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2002 19:51:34 GMT
Content-type: text/html
Set-cookie: NETSCAPE_LIVEWIRE_ID=66DFAF097771AD7C8BF3F45EA37798450022B5D4; path=/MinSide
Content-length: 21283
Connection: keep-alive

containing _private_ information for the client.... We need to adapt
to this imperfection by never caching a text object having a
Set-Cookie or Set-Cookie2 field.

Is this possible?
