Your browser sends the request to Squid, who forwards the request to
the site.

When the reply arrives Squid first makes some quick sanity checks of
the initial HTTP reply headers (all usually contained in the first
reply packet), and if the reply seems OK it is send in parallell both
to the client and the cache.
