different behaviour for CDDB request between Squid/2.0.PATCH2 and Squid/2.2.STABLE5

Hi,
        I hope this question hasnt come up before. I have searched the
squid web site for it and read the FAQ and I didnt come across any
info on my problem.

We have two different offices at work with a very similar setup. I had set
up xmcd (a cd player with CDDB support) in one office and it worked fine.
However recently I have moved to the other office and installed xmcd and
the CDDB support was broken. With a bit of digging I figured out that the
requests the xmcd player uses are handled differently between Squid/2.0.PATCH2
and Squid/2.2.STABLE5. Here is a telnet session to the two proxies :

telnet xxxx 3128
Trying 193.xx.xxx.xx...
Connected to xxxx.

Here is the same test using Squid/2.2.STABLE5..

As you can see the connection is closed in the second version before the
CDDB info is returned. As I'm not the system admin I cant really look at the
configuration for squid so I guess I'm not in a position to tell anyone
how Squid is setup here so it could be a config problem (but it doesnt
look like that to me) If anyone has seen this before or has an idea
of how to fix it I could pass it on to our systems guys.

Thanks in advance
