Not quite.. the old accepted a lot of crap which was ambigious, such as
different content-length headers and a few other really bad things.

Same here, but I selected the silented to distribute Squid with the
default "on" setting to not confuse people too much why Squid now
complains about malformed HTTP responses.

All of this is silently accepted by Squid-2.5.STABLE9 in it's default
"relaxed_header_parser on" settings. Squid-2.5.STABLE8 rejects the
response due to the whitespace.
