Infinite loop : To determine *how* to contact a server for that URL,
first contact a server for that URL.

The only reason your test "works" at all is that curl request is *not*
going through Squid. If you were to optimize it to send its traffic to
Squid you should see the loop immediately.

Also, there is no guarantee that a curl request to a server using curl
U-A and Accept-* headers and transfer compression capabilities - has any
relation to the actual response that same server will generate to a
request containing the clients U-A, Accept-* header, Cookies, and
transfer compression capabilities.

NP: I've seen a LOT of servers which produce 404 pages or short web
redirection pages  when robots or CLI like curl connect to them - but
the real download content when Browsers connect.
