You are right.

yes we use openssl libraries and created a proxy server that supports persistent connections. Earlier we had wcol as http prefetcher. But we had problems with long urls and less capabilities, we decided to move to squid. Now we are facing this issue after we configured squid to hear request from our proxy. Hence I am not sure if it is proxy or squid.

Tried this but same result.
