There is nothing to "handle" here.

 1a) Squid takes some request from the client and passes it to the
server, which responds with 301.
 1b) Squid takes the 301 and delivers it to the client.

 2a) Squid takes client followup request for the new Location URL and
passes it to the server, which responds with 302 pointing back to the
first URL.
 2b) Squid takes the 302 and delivers it to the client.

 3a) goto 1a.


See the problem?
