 ICY protocol abusing HTTP.
 http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.1/RELEASENOTES.html#ss2.10

 FWIW: 2.7 has a hack to work around the ICY jitter.
   acl shoutcast rep_header X-HTTP09-First-Line ^ICY.[0-9]
   upgrade_http0.9 deny shoutcast

 The jitter is due to ICY players not being nice when the reply headers
 are updated according to HTTP/1.1 protocol requirements. Passing it
 through *any* HTTP/1.1 compliant proxy which is not aware of ICY and
 working around its brokenness will cause the jitter.

 Great idea though, using a 2.7 peer dedicated to youtube URLs is a nice
 way to get the best of both versions.
