heirachy codes ?

Greetings,

        Why does squid (2.3 stable 1 on OSF 4.0D) return hierachy code
        DIRECT (squid code TCP_MISS) when I generate a HTTP 504 ?

        I have a simple Linux box using ip chains to block access to port 80
        (packets are dropped). I asked squid to get the home page from this
        machine, it did as expected and timed out (hence the http code 504 I
        guess). Now after it timed out, it puts in the log that it went direct
        (TCP_MISS:DIRECT) I find this confusing. The FAQ says that
        hierachy code NONE is returned for TCP errors. Is a TCP connection
        timeout considered not a TCP error? Why is it considered to be DIRECT?
        
Thanks very much!

K.
