Hello,
This was encountered while uploading files in excess of 1MB using http transfers. Webmail such as Yahoo, Groupwise, and also transfers to website editors. We have resolved this issue, but I am posting it in case any one else has a problem with it. I am still learning about linux and squid, so maybe also someone can tell me why I needed to make these changes in the first place. I probably only needed to make one of the two changes that I made, but since down time is a big deal for us I made both of these at once so I would only need to reload squid once. The changes were made to the squid.conf-default. They are as follows
request_body_max_size 100 MB
(this is the one I belive was important)
maximum_object_size 100000
This has fixed the problem and we can upload using http with out problems now. If anyone would like to test this, try using yahoo's webmail and attach a file over 1MB in size. We first noticed it wile trying to use an http transfer up to a webserver and it failed. I ran a packet sniffer and squid returned a "HTTP/1.0 413 Request Entity Too Large" error. Finally after alot of digging I was finally able to find a single posting to another message board about it and was able to work from there.

In case anyone cares. I know this is long winded but since I didn't see anything else about this when I searched the board I wanted to make sure it was here for others.
Also please pardon me is this message contains reduntant information. The window is sooo tiny I can only see a little bit at a time. Next time I guess I will type it in notepad and copy it into the window. Hint hint Astaro.
