it's been a few months since I was playing with squid internals, but
iirc the outgoing and incoming http sessions were handled completely
separately.. so it can parse http/1.1 requests but can't parse
http/1.1 responses..

I did patches to make it understand transfer encodings, and chunk in
particular and they were kind of contrived.. they're on
http://proximate.appliedtheory.com somewhere.
