Just FYI squid-3.0 release notes:
        request_entities
                New squid.conf directive "request_entities on/off".If set to
                "on" then Squid will allow GET/HEAD requests with request
                entities, even if such entites are "undefined" in the HTTP
                specification. (Henrik Nordstrom)

Anyway I have no longer standards compliance complaints as httpd-2.1 looks OK:
