Yes, that _should_ work fine.

Try constructing your GET properly.

GET http://www.google.com/ HTTP/1.0

followed by a couple of CR+LFs and see if you get any more joy. Have you
tried pointing a Windows client at it using IE or Netscrape for a "genuine"
client connection? If the above works, then it would look more like it's a
lynx problem rather than a Squid problem. Does the server close the
connection instantly, or wait for a while?

Let me know.
