I don't have any solution I'm afraid, but maybe this information will be
of some value somehow.

I'm running Squid 1.1.17 on Linux 2.0.23 with only 64MB RAM. The URLs and
client test all worked for me. However, I've seen a similar problem with
some graphics not loading and Squid reporting no object data when I use it
to access one of our local sites through plug-gw which is a firewall tool
from TIS that just acts as a transceiver between a TCP port on the local
host and some TCP port on some remote host. If I access the same site with
just Squid, everything works fine. If I access the same site pointing the
browser straight at port on which plug-gw is configured, everything also
works fine; it's the combination of Squid and plug-gw that doesn't work.
I've also tried using the hose program from the netpipes suite instead of
plug-gw and saw similar results.
