Correct. It does not exist since the date 2000-05-15.

Please find some more relevant tutorials. Perhapse the 
<http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/> ones already document what 
you need.

Time is what it is. The server tells Squid how old an object was when 
delivered. Squid itself tracks the time between that delivery and the 
current operation being performed. Those are facts not subject to any 
humans wishes.

What you do get to decide is some default parameters to use when the 
server does not supply enough details for the heuristic caching 
algorithm (defined in <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7234#section-4.2>) 
that are used *if* the server and client do not provided them.
  The refresh_pattern directive is used for supplying those parameters.
