I am pretty sure that it is a FAQ, but it seems that Squid is forcing HTTP/1.0 between the proxy and the target host even if I enable the proxy tunneling (mozilla config key "network.http.proxy.pipelining").
pipelining is sending multiple requests without waiting for the response first, not tunneling.
Is it normal?
Yes.
Is it a configuration problem ?
No.
The next question is : does Squid support content compression -gzip- from end to end ?
Yes.
end-to-end (Content-Encoding) is supported, but it is important the server is sending a proper Vary header.
hop-by-hop (Transfer-Encoding) is not yet supported. This is currently the main reason why Squid is not yet HTTP/1.1.
