So I've discovered that much of my connection stacking is due to Squid responding as 1.0 for everything, this has also caused some issues in my app. So before I abandon squid, since we must use gzip encoding and various other 1.1 specific features, I'm wondering if there is a way to capture and pass on the clients http version thru to my backend server.. Since Squid is responding to the backend, regardless of the client query as 1.0, our servers can't do many of the nice 1.1 features that we would like to.. So is there a way to capture and have squid rewrite the request so that my server knows the client made the request using http 1.1, so that it can respond in kind, regardless of how $#%$ squid is responding as 1.0 (sorry new issue that wasn't uncovered until today and it really sucks).. I've looked all over and the 1.1 vs 1.0 appears to be a decent battle inside the Squid developers "Or maybe all my reading is based on early conflicts and this has been resolved in a later version that i'm not running?!" Thanks Tory
