"active" -- maybe, but "working" -- hardly. To probe that the proxy
service is "working" one should send that service at least one HTTP
request and, bugs notwithstanding, these connections had no requests.

For the record, if there are no related Squid bugs, then these packet
dumps should not have much more information than a properly configured
access.log because there is no payload on these connections. Collecting
packets _is_ useful to confirm that Squid classifies these connections
correctly, but such collection should not be needed long-term.
