I did some sniffing and found that Squid was not sending either header
with the request already, but Tinyproxy actually did send the via
header. Squid also used a keep-alive connection, whereas tinyproxy used
"closed." Squid received data from the server that included
"Transfer-encoding: chunked" whereas tinyproxy did not.
And actually the packet sniff shows that the web page was in fact
downloaded by squid. But somehow squid is not passing it on. So it
looks to be a bug in Squid.
