        I found the fix for it. Basically if it's a netscape-3.* user agent
then we just ignore to Keep-Alive header. So yeah, that's what has to be
done to get Netscape 3 happy with Squid 1.2. Posts now work with between
NS 3 and S 1.2 when this is done.

        I'll forward a patch when I cleanup my hackery.
