There is no such connection. All connections in HTTP is hop-by-hop.
There is a number of connections client<->squid (usually in the range 0
to 4 depending on the page strucuture and content), and then there may
be other connections squid<->webserver. The two is independent, but
cache misses results in requests being forwarded on one (any available,
or a new) connection to the requested server.

Not entirely sure what you are asking for.
