Folks that want to focus on saving bandwidth may use them. We can publish the corresponding configuration excerpts on the wiki. If those options are not enough, let's add more. If those options slow Squid down too much, let's discuss optimizations (keeping in mind that much better optimizations can probably be obtained by preserving header blobs during forwarding). However, please do not hard-code policing of messages Squid can grok, especially in the parser. Thank you, Alex.
