Amos, The config is to allow http access for all but this case. I came across this link : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/so-many-tcp_denied-in-squid-access-log-469574/ but I do not have anything blocked in my configuration. Is it possible that, if the 'host' does not allow access to all machines ( and new request from squid machine ), then we will get TCP_DENIED/403 status code ??
