The log format looks like Squid native format. On all the 200 status
transactions there is "connect" instead of "-" where that format prints
username.

Nod. Squid2 is receiving an origin-form request. Such as a client would
send *inside* a CONNECT tunnel, or Squid would send on DIRECT traffic.
The former was what I suspected at first, but the message does say Via:
with Squid1 details. So somehow Squid1 must think this connection is a
DIRECT (origin) connection.

Please upgrade his machine if you can. All this may turn out to be a
side effect of one of the many bugs fixed already.

If this is our actual config there is no need for these ACLs. This Squid
already accepts *everything* it is handed which has even vague
resemblance of HTTP syntax. All they are doing is making a false
illusion of some control existing.
It should be sufficient to use:
never_direct allow all
cache_peer_access proxy3128 allow all
Really you should leave the security checks we put into the default
config. They are there to prevent things like Squid being instructed to
send spam email, or worse DoS'ing your internal network.

Okay. Next thing to do is identify what Squid1 thinks type of connection
this FD is used for. Please add debug level "44,3 51,3" to the Squid1
config and repeat the test.
