I'm testing Squid 3.2.3 and seem to be encountering some sort of

be resolved by restarting the browser.
The squid.conf is more or less the standard copy from the
installation, and I have not added anything that looks like a
"timeout" parameter. I've never seen this in previous versions I've
used, 2.6 and 3.1.
What might it be?
* it might be browser loosing a connection object internally
* it might be HTTP/1.1 handling issues in either browser or Squid
* it might be TCP timeouts in the network stack of any device between
browser and Squid
* it might be NAT timeouts in any device between browser and Squid
* it might be ARP table timeouts on any device between browser and
Squid
All of these are possibilities in 3.2 where HTTP/1.1 is use between
Browser and Squid. But not in the older versions where HTTP/1.0 is used.
As side-effects of HTTP 1.1 vs 1.0 keep-alive behaviour.
