In short; its not truncated. That is the proper/expected message format
on each of the *two different ports*.

Handling the intercepted URL format from port 80 messages is part of
what the "intercept" option does in squid.conf http_port.

If you follow one of the config examples detailed in the section
"Traffic Interception capture into Squid" and the below wiki page you
wont get these issues.
