Be very careful with this - there are lots of things in HTTP/1.1 which deal with cache expiry which go to some lengths to ensure that it is clear how old files are and they are cached correctly. If arbitrary options are added to the proxy that break the spec it's unlikely to be accepted as a change.

This kind of thing could probably have specific modes of behavior - in this case "offline mode" (needs a better definition, but I'm tired) where the should the backend be queried and the request fails or takes longer than a certain amount of time (5 seconds, whatever), cached data is returned in the meantime.
