I assume by "messy code" you mean the objects themselves whih that
command is fetchign in ful.


Its a bit more efficient to use:
  -m HEAD -H 'Cache-Control:only-if-cached\n'

You should then be able to use the status code to determine non-cached
objects. I forget which one Squid produces (500 or 403), but easy enough
for you to identify.


I'm not sure what exactly is leading to the ABORTED yet. Its not a major
issue, just a logging detail.
