Please don't top post [1]. I don't know if your proxy has issues. I set
up squid 3.5 with a default configuration and when I request some FTP
files (all from the same FTP server) squid replies with either chunked
transfer encoding or content length, it looks like depending on the file
type. In the case of chunked transfer then the total size is unknown,
which is expected. For example I requested a binary file and it replied
with
< Content-Type: text/plain
< Content-Length: 113234161
then I requested an xml file from the same server and it replied with
< Content-Type: text/xml
< Transfer-Encoding: chunked
css was also chunked. All files had the correct content, none had
unwanted CRLF conversion.
If you want to find out why squid doesn't give you the content length
for your file, or why there is CRLF conversion, I would ask squid
support [2].
