connection closing is perfectly normal part of operation. Squid is
http/1.0 with a few 1.1 features - but it doesn't support Continue.

I'm a little unclear on what is going on here, but it sounds like:
1) You are writing a proxy of some sort, using squid to get the data
from the internet.
2) You are having a problem where the connection from squid to your
proxy is closing.

Whats not clear is /when/ it is closing. As I said above, closing the
connection is normal for http operation. If you are coding to the
http/1.1 specification, you should read the section on HTTP/1.0
persistent connection interoperation, and probably the HTTP/1.0 spec
too.
