Keep-Alives in Squid

Hello,

        I found a problem in Squid-1.0.9: When using a browser that sends
the "Connection: Keep-Alive" option, that line is passed to the WWW server
from where Squid retrieves the document. As Squid doesn't handle keep-alives
the server keeps that connection open for a while until times out. I modified
Squid to remove that line from the header sent to the server. Performance
with a local Apache-1.1.1 server increases significantly.
