Infinite loop : To determine *how* to contact a server for that URL, first contact a server for that URL. The only reason your test "works" at all is that curl request is *not* going through Squid. If you were to optimize it to send its traffic to Squid you should see the loop immediately. Also, there is no guarantee that a curl request to a server using curl U-A and Accept-* headers and transfer compression capabilities - has any relation to the actual response that same server will generate to a request containing the clients U-A, Accept-* header, Cookies, and transfer compression capabilities. NP: I've seen a LOT of servers which produce 404 pages or short web redirection pages when robots or CLI like curl connect to them - but the real download content when Browsers connect.
