Yes you can do that. Run squid -k parse after doing so and fix the
errors that are logged.

I think it is the auth helper name that is the main error here. The
squid-3.5 equivalent of that helper is called basic_nsca_auth.exe for
your OS.


FYI: the minimal default Squid-3 config can be found at
<http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Squid-3.5>

I recommend you copy those 2.7 settings into the line marked as "INSERT
YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE" instead of using the above 2.7 conf as-is.
