The characters you point out above are reserved for use as
sub-delimiters in URI / URL syntax.

You are not sure its Squid doing anything at all? check to be sure what
is actually happening before you go looking for solutions to your guessed.

Filenames are not URL, and vice versa.

Sending software is responsible for properly URI-encoding any file path

Squid (and HTTP itself) knows nothing of any such concept of "file" -
there are only messages. Squid does however obey RFC 3986 and 7230
requirements for URL/URI handling.
