Right.. Does squid ignore the "host: header" on incomming HTTP/1.1 requests??

I see.. But how about the persistend HTTP/1.1 connections from a Squid v2.0
proxy to a remote HTTP/1.1 Web-server ??? How does the remote Web-server
recognize when Squid v2.0 wants to create a persistend HTTP/1.1 connection??
I tought it was using the HTTP/1.1 protocol specifier for it??

Cheers, Henny
