Squid is a HTTP server to the client, and a HTTP client to the upstream
server. On both connections the full rules on HTTP message delimiting
and connection management applies (independently).

Squid is HTTP/1.0 which means that responses without a content-length
header is delimited by the server closing the connection. No problem
there.

If the response has a content-length header then this delimits the
message. Also allows Squid to keep persistent connections (again, server
side and client side is independent).
