Upcoming HTTP Compliance patches

Hello,

     We are working on a series of patches to make Squid conditionally
compliant with RFC 2616 (at least). Our primary focus is on eliminating
all HTTP/1.1 violations detected by Co-Advisor. The checklist with the
current violations is available as the spreadsheet linked from
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/HTTP11

I am sending this introductiory message to emphasize the scope of the
upcoming compliance patches. I know that some of those changes can be
broadened to cover more areas or improve more code, but we need to focus
on specific violations in order to complete this project in time for
v3.2 release. As we discover related bugs or uncovered cases, we will
add them to Squid and Co-Advisor to-dos and come back to them after this
project is completed.

If you want to help with the compliance-related development, please ping
me. We can coordinate our efforts using the checklist as it provides
many well-isolated cases that we can work on in parallel.

Thank you,

Alex.
