Squid does not compress because Squid does not have the code to compress.

To understand what it going on, you need to find the agent that does
compression. It could be the origin server, an ICAP service, an eCAP
adapter, or even another proxy. If you think that a packet capture or
any other information source shows that your stock Squid compresses
content, then something went wrong either when capturing data or when
interpreting it.

If it is the origin server that does compression, then what you are
seeing is simply a bad side effect of forcing Squid to cache something
it must not cache.


HTH,
