The problem is that squids internals look something like
network->upstream->cache_dir->clientside->network
which means that important control information gets lost (when the data hits the cache_dir).
In particular range requests can confuse squid very badly.
Should be ok for playing with. I've basically let it bitrot while the infrastructure to support it cleanly is created.
