Unfortunately, adding the two directives:

     header_access Unless-Modified-Since deny all
     header_access Translate deny all

Generates the following errors at start and stop of squid:

    2009/05/13 11:42:57| cache_cf.cc(346) squid.conf:40 unrecognized:
'header_access'
    2009/05/13 11:42:57| cache_cf.cc(346) squid.conf:41 unrecognized:
'header_access

Under FreeBSD, a 'make config' shows that SQUID_STRICT_HTTP is
deselected. From my reading of the make file, this means that the
directive --disable-http-violations is not in effect.

Will I have to recompile with --enable-http-violations to be able to
use these directives?
