  Often this directive is mis understood and it does not do what you want.
  always_direct is only meaningfull when your squid is using parent caches
  and indicates when they should be bypassed or not.

  To bypass SQUID the request, may not 'enter' squid, and this then has
  to be soved at the browser level.

  Btw. an interesting tool w.r.t. sight behavior on http1.0 or 1.1 issues is :
