At least two possible causes:

1. The connection between squid and the origin server was broken, and
the servers reply did not contain any Content-Length header. Squid may
have some trouble distinguishing a broken from a completed object if
this should happen.

2. Your browser has cached the partial object.

What do you get if you run

client -m HEAD <URL>

compared to

client -r -m HEAD <URL>
