Well the request is getting through to the proxy "isn-phc-cache". But
for some reason its being rejected.

You have this:

So it should be allowed. You are running squidclient connecting to the
default (localhost:3128) proxy server.

Use -v option to get more verbose output from squidclient about what its
doing. You can repeat the option several times to get more detailed
debug info.

The other thing to watch out for is whether ./squidclient run from that
/bin directory is the 3.5.2 version or not. If its from an older version
of Squid it wont have all the options the new ones do.
