Since the problem is realted to HTTP/1.0 I did some "apt-cache search ..." and found this: $ apt-cache show polipo Package: polipo Priority: optional Section: web Installed-Size: 736 Maintainer: Tom Huckstep <tom-debian-polipo@jaguarpaw.co.uk> Architecture: i386 Version: 0.9.10-1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6) Filename: pool/main/p/polipo/polipo_0.9.10-1_i386.deb Size: 171018 MD5sum: 423d3214beba85f055cc503e8c4f385d SHA1: 664c40e955a72adfbf15d66317901ee69ec9e270 SHA256: b55c827fb54c8f7d530c1d1ae07cd2c776ce176e05e87df48ff84a37fcfc4b85 Description: caching web proxy Polipo is a caching web proxy (a web cache) designed to be used by one person or a small group of people. It is similar in spirit to WWWOFFLE, but the implementation techniques are more like the ones ones used by Squid. . Polipo has some features that are unique among currently available proxies: . o Polipo will use HTTP/1.1 pipelining if it believes that the remote server supports it, whether the incoming requests are pipelined or come in simultaneously on multiple connections (this is more than the simple usage of persistent connections, which is done by e.g. Squid); . o Polipo will cache the initial segment of an instance if the download has been interrupted, and, if necessary, complete it later using Range requests; . o Polipo will upgrade client requests to HTTP/1.1 even if they come in as HTTP/1.0, and up- or downgrade server replies to the client's capabilities (this may involve conversion to or from the HTTP/1.1 chunked encoding); . o Polipo has fairly complete support for IPv6 (except for scoped (link-local) addresses). . Optionally, Polipo can use a technique known as Poor Man's Multiplexing to reduce latency. . Homepage: http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/ . Package page: http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~teh30/debian/polipo/ Tag: interface::daemon, network::server, network::service, protocol::http, role::program, special::not-yet-tagged, special::not-yet-tagged::p, use::proxying, web::server, works-with::text, works-with-format::html Can't tell you anything about it. But if it is worth the effort you might be interested in setting it up. It is small in terms of download size and can upgrade requests to HTTP/1.1. Regards Marcus
