Yes, Squid supports HTTP/1.1 persistent connections, subject to a few restrictions: • Squid doesn’t block any request to wait for a busy connection to become idle. It always opens another connection. • Idle connections time out after a short (configurable) amount of time. Currently set to 15 seconds. • Squid does not yet support chunked encoding. A response without a Content-length header always closes a connection.
