Does your Squid identify itself as "localhost" in Via headers and other 
output? If not, you are probably suffering from bug #5283:
https://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5283

There are several workarounds, including Squid patches, but no long-term 
solution yet. If you do not want to patch Squid, use "squidclient -h..." 
as suggested at https://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5283#c1


HTH,
