If your Siebel application is responding with chunked encoding in response
to requests from Squid you SHOULD discuss this with your Siebel support
contact as the server is in plain violation of the HTTP specifications.
Servers MUST NOT send chunked encoding to HTTP/1.0 clients (RFC 2616 3.6
Transfer Codings, last sentence). An application violating a MUST/MUST NOT
condition of the HTTP specifications is by definition non-compliant with the
specification.

But first, verify using squidclient or a similar siple client that the
application really is sending chunked encoding and that the problem is not
something else.
