I am not sure what the actual question here is, but, AFAICT, squidclient
never submits more than one HTTP request and, hence, squidclient always
closes the connection after the first transaction.

You can control the value of the HTTP Connection header sent by
squidclient using the -k command line option. Again, regardless of that
option, squidclient will naturally close the connection after receiving
the response. My guess is that the command line option was added for
(Squid) testing purposes; it has no practical use beyond that very
limited scope.


HTH,
