Squid implements both.

As Squid is a HTTP/1.0 proxy it implements the HTTP/1.0+ model of
persistent connections (negotiated via Connection: keep-alive).

RFC2616 (HTTP/1.1) is a bit restrictive on how proxies may deal with
pipelining. Basically proxies are not allowed to pipeline requests. To
compensate for this proxies is allowed to process several requests
pipelined by the client in parallell. By default Squid processes up to
two requests per client connection in parallell.
