further investigation shows that a HTTP/1.1 request from the client is
stopped at squid with a 411 error in access.log. This request never
reaches the app server. I suspect the client using chunked encoding and
squid replies with a 411 'try again with content length'.

ok, but is there any directive in squid to just pass on requests without
  changing the original request ?
