[squid-users] Handling pdf

Hi all,

I notice that when i tried viewing pdf through browser, multiple
requests will be logged (see below).

Why does Squid break up the request?
What is the first 3 requests? handshaking?
Why not go straight to multipart/byteranges?
Is this web server dependent or pdf client dependent?
