Yes, that is correct. But I'am not sure if this is the only necessary option. Maybe I have to configure more options.

I have traced the network interface at the squid server. 
The ftp connection was established from localhost. So I cannot see the traffic between squid and ftp client.
The missing ACK I have seen comes from the ftp server. Maybe the ftp server answer is different between 'ftp over http' and ftp.
But this issue is similar to different ftp servers.
