But since Squid passes http1.0 version to your origin servers, they are going to respond in kind and thus the origin is not going to gzip the content (if squid preserved the 1.0 vs 1.1 version, the origin server could do what it wanted. But believe that is the RFC compliance that squid seems to be hard pressed to conform with. How much would it cost to get Squid to preserve the http version so that our servers could provide gzip functionality? Tory
