In most cases where Squid denies a request, that request matches an 
"http_access deny" rule. That rule may be implicit or explicit. Without 
seeing your configuration or debugging (combined with request details), 
it is impossible to tell you which deny rule (if any) matched the 
request in question.

One way to make progress here if for you to post your http_access rules 
and explain which "http_access allow" rule you expect the request to 
match (and _why_). We may be able to find a flaw in that explanation.
