Zope currently handles persistent http connections with a browser very nicely.

Zope also supports (unofficially, I think) proxy-style http request. That is, requests where the client thinks zope is an http proxy rather than an http origin server.

However, supporting persistent connections into proxies under HTTP/1.0 requires the use of some slightly different headers, as implemented by this patch.

The main (only?) use for Zope accepting proxy-style connections is when using Squid as a front-end proxy. This patch has been thoroughly tested in this configuration.
