Then why do you expect Squid would be allowed to be configured to do that?

Besides the corruption problems 302 messages contain a payload/body
which some clients need to display and/or process instead of the
Location header.

You would need a ICAP or eCAP RESPMOD adaptor to do that. Since you are
requesting whole-message adaptation.


PS. any server which is fooled by the behaviour you are trying to
achieve is violating the HTTP requirenment:
"
   server MUST NOT assume that two requests on the same connection are
   from the same user agent
"
