Apparently. I've never seen a chunked response in wireshark. But the HTTP
headers say chnked, and deflate. So I assume its a binary coding meta-data
for the chunk. In this case it looks like a non-encoded chunk anyway.

Yes. _Squid_ is the HTTP/1.0 client. Apache server is throwing the
HTTP/1.1 data at it.

aaahh, Fooo!
Maybe a bug then, If squid is in the middle (I assume its
transparent/intercepting?) it should at least be translating that 1.1
received (from real client) to a 1.0 that it can handle, and request 1.0
from Apache.

Will definitely have to hand this to Henrik when he gets well again.
