Does your Squid have access to the HTTP request information? For
example, if it is an HTTPS request, and you are not bumping the
corresponding TLS connection, then Squid would not be working at HTTP
level and, hence, would not be able to limit individual HTTP request sizes.

The corresponding access.log record may tell us more about the
problematic transaction.
