Squid supports pipelining, in the sense that it can process up to two
parallell requests from the same client connection.

Squid does not yet use pipelining when retreiving content due to the
complexity involved if the first request needs to be retried etc.

In your case, most likely the response to the first request is
incompatible with HTTP/1.0 style persistent connections. Squid (or
any HTTP/1.0 application) does not and can not support chunked
transfer encoding. For a reply to be compatible with the use of
persistent connections in HTTP/1.0 the reply must have a known
Content-length, and the actual content returned by the server must
obviously match the advertised length..
