[squid-users] Does Squid support setting an expiration time less than one minute?

[Niu Licheng]

Thanks for the quick response. In my specific case, I want the http responses to be valid in the cache for a constant time period, I know it violate http standard though.  
Nginx supports setting caching time by "proxy_cache_valid 200 10s”, is there similar approaches in Squid?
