transproxyd 0.4 has some problems with persistent HTTP connections.
However, it should work if you enable transparent proxy support in
squid.conf:
  httpd_accel_host www.your.domain
  httpd_accel_with_proxy on
  httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
  (www.your.domain is where odd browsers supporting persistent
connections but the Host header are sent).

I once made an replacement to transproxy-0.4 that worked in conjunction
with a small Squid patch. I have however discarded this from political
reasons, and from the fact that it is simply not needed.
