Squid does not do this, but there are some browsers which does this. The length parameter to If-Modified-Since is a Netscape extension of HTTP/1.0, meant to improve the accuracy of If-Modified-Since in case a document is updated twice in the same second. HTTP/1.1 solved the same problem in a better way via the ETag header and If-None-Match. ";" is used within HTTP to separate header values from extra parameters to the value. No extra parameters are defined for If-Modified-Since, but if any extra parameters are to be sent then these should be separated by ";".
