It is most likely Netscape which does the CR/LF translation since the
content type is text/plain, and it knows that DOS/Windows uses CR+LF as
line terminator.

UNIX Netscape seems to behave nicely, and never do any kind of CR/LF
translation when downloading files.
To Squid there is no difference which OS the client are used. The
request is processed in the same way regardless.

Three ways:
1. Add a correct mime type for the file type
2. or change the default mimetype to application/binary
3. or use the download icon for downloading the file if the browser
insist on CR/LF translation.
