TCP_DENIED/411 with POST method - request_entities

I have a particular site that is getting this error when using squid as 
a transparent proxy:

  1149867876.810     50 192.168.1.23 TCP_DENIED/411 \
  2132 POST http://dev.example.com/HSXMLAdmin/galleryloader.php \
  - NONE/- text/html

Searching brought me to this article:

  http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200505/0700.html

which points to request_entities in squid's conf. It says that setting 
this stop squid from caring that this particular GET isn't complying to 
RFC's. However, it looks like when request_entities was added, it only 
applies to GET and HEAD, not POST.

  http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=463

I've tried to set "request_entities on", but it still gives TCP_DENIED. 
Is there some other way to tell squid to not care about 411's, and just 
pass the traffic through?

Thanks,
Chris
