That smells more like a tcp windows issue than an HTTP/1.1 issue..

If on Linux try the following workaround:

echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling

this works around quite many broken firewalls not coping well with
window scaling, but significantly scarifies performance over long
distance connections (measured in RTT * bandwidth, not miles)...

Here: http://lwn.net/Articles/92727/  I found this workaround:

With kernel 2.6.17.13 or higher, you can also do:


THEIR_IP=1.2.3.4
MY_GATEWAY=5.6.7.8


ip route add $THEIR_IP/32 via $MY_GATEWAY window 65535


which only limits window scaling for that destination without
interfering with your other connections

Any thoughts? Better or worse than the other?


For what it's worth I had no problem loading the start page using
Firefox via Squid-2.

What OS are you running squid-2 over?

Thanks,
Chris
