Well.. actually the HTTP specification says that mostly any method
can have a request entity with a few exceptions. The HTTP/1.1
specification is rather clear on this.
Squid is a little anal in what requests it accept request entities
on, for good and bad.
What servers can reliably detect HTTP proxyied requests from is the
HTTP signature. The first request line ends in [space]HTTP/x.y
