There is no "file" in HTTP. Only messages.

Some messages have payloads. Sometimes those payload sizes are known
before they have finished arriving. Usually they are not. Sometimes
those payloads even match the size of a file being transferred with
HTTP. Usually they do not.

You could write a response header ACL to check how many digits there are
in the Content-Length headers. But that will only work sometimes, and
only get you an order-of-magnitue type of check. Which may be good
enough for what I think you are trying to do.

But you will needs Squid-4.0.2 or later for that, where bug 1139 has
been fixed.
