Thanks! That did it.

FYI .... The reason I am doing this is that after a webserver upgrade which
includes an upgrade of the Java servlet / JSP engine for dynamic pages, the
dynamic pages are now chunked ( Transfer-Encoding: chunked ). This works fine
with desktop browsers ... but is a problem with i-mode phones as they seem to
really rely on the Content-Length header ( and therefore no chunking ) for
pages to be displayed.

Fortunately squid uses HTTP/1.0 !! ... so the solution was to put an
accelerator so that response from squid to the phone are not chunked.
