Do you see "Keep-Alive: 300" header in the packets that are sent to
Squid? Do you see "Keep-Alive: 300" header in the packets that Squid
sends to the origin server? If yes, perhaps Apache httpd (or equivalent)
is "translating" your Keep-Alive header into the Connection header, with
a value of Keep-Alive.

What is the purpose of sending that Keep-Alive header? Can you send a
custom header like X-Alive?

HTH,
