Is it possible for Squid to maintain Persistent Connections and pipelining to a client even when the server on whose behalf it's connecting does not fully support persistent connectiions?
It does.
Which of the following limitations on the server would force squid to have to terminate an HTTP/1.1 connection after one request:
1) sending Connection: close after the request
Yes.
2) support for HTTP 1.0 only
Squid supports HTTP/1.0 persistent connections ([Proxy-]Connection: keep-alive).
3) Not sending a Content-length: XX header
Yes. Squid is a HTTP/1.0 proxy and HTTP/1.0 persistent connections requires a known Content-length.
