Yes.

<http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/HTTP11> may be a good starting
point to upskill or just learn about squid abilities within the
protocol. The current RFC 723x are pretty easy reading compared to most
(intentionally).

The checklist .ODS document compares several Squid 2.7+ versions
compliance per-feature. Though the co-advisor still does not seem to
check the 723x updated requirements fully.

Its all a little bit stale, but mostly accurate still.
