Yes. Squid is still HTTP/1.0 for various small but important reasons.

Now you confuse me a bit. There is no Content-Transfer-Encoding in HTTP,
what there is is

  Content-Encoding, indicating the encoding of the entity (all versions)

  Transfer-Encoding, transport level hop-by-hop encoding (HTTP/1.1 and
later).

Squid supports the first (Content-Encoding), but not the second
(Transfer-Encoding).

Note: HTTP/1.1 is very clear that Transfer-Encoding MUST NOT be used in
responses to HTTP/1.0 requests.

Some day we'd like to support HTTP/1.1, but still some work remains.
