All browsers on the market supports persistent connections in HTTP/1.0
using the unofficial "Connection: keep-alive" header.
To prove that persistent connections are used, you can either inspect
the network traffic using ngrep or a similar tool, or trust the Squid
statistics provided by the cachemgr interface.
Squid is slowly approaching HTTP/1.1 compliance. The main thing which is
missing and probits us from moving to HTTP/1.1 is support for chunked
Transfer-Encoding.
