Yes. The problem appears to be a broken CDN proxy at their end.

When passed requests in HTTP/1.0 format for origin servers.

### squidclient -h bay.tvh.com -j bay.tvh.com -p 80 /tvhbay/tvhbay.html
| more

Request:
   GET /tvhbay/tvhbay.html HTTP/1.0
   Host: bay.tvh.com
   User-Agent: squidclient/3.3
   Connection: close

Response:
   HTTP/1.1 200 OK
   Content-Length: 0
   X-Varnish: 447948572
   ...

It claims the page has no size. Ouch.

But when passed the exact same request using 1.1 it magically appears:

Request:
   GET /tvhbay/tvhbay.html HTTP/1.1
   Host: bay.tvh.com
   User-Agent: squidclient/3.3
   Connection: close

Response:
   HTTP/1.1 200 OK
   Content-Length: 192781
   X-Varnish: 447948866
   ...

You can work around it by upgrading your Squid to version 3.1, which
sends HTTP/1.1 to servers.

And complain to that sites admin. They need to fix their proxy.
