As far as I know yes.

HTTP allows for custom headers, and these will be forwarded unless you
are using anonymisation features of Squid to restrict which headers
Squid may forward.

111 is Connection refused. More likely the game server does not like the
(quite likely correct) TCP/IP implementation of the OS where you run
Squid. Check the Squid FAQ if there is any known settings you should
make in your OS to avoid such problems.
