hi, your squid 1.1.15 doesn't support it, but 2.xxx does. 

upgrading is well worthwhile for many reasons, partly security (the
newer one requires content-length on CONNECT requests, amongst other
things, which you want unless you want people to be able to irc/smtp
through your squid), also the performance is far better.

if you want to keep the old cache files you will need to run both
versions in parallel for a while - change the current port 8080 to
something else (for example 8081) and setup 2.xx on 8080 set to point to
localhost:8081 (or whichever port you used) as a parent cache. If you
are pressed for disk space, start the new cache small and the old cache
large and gradually increase the size of the new cache and decrease the
size of the old cache. After a few weeks most of the sites that are
going to see some benefit from using the cache will be moved over to the
new cache directory and you should be able to switch off the old one and
delete the remaining cache.

hope this helps,
Stuart
