You can check what the server is responding with and ensure that it uses
Vary headers on all responses that have multiple payload variants like this.

The specs of what Vary coming from the server should be doing are at
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-7.1.4>. So long as the
server is providing that header correctly, Squid will be doing its part
with the caching like you want.
