This has been an issue since the early 2000's and there is already many
bug reports about it. The current tracker one is:

<https://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4422>

FWIW: Squid already supports the 8000 char URL size required by specs.
Anything above that is just feature enhancement.

Also, applications which cannot cope with systems restricted to 8000
byte URLs are non-compliant with HTTP specs. Google Chrome devs helped
write decide that specific text be 8000 instead of the older 4000, so
the client should better work with the response Squid produces after
that log entry.
