This is a file which was not found on the web server in the prior 
request.

If you think this is related to the problem then you can try disabling 
negative caching in Squid. See squid.conf.

Such applications is always fishy via proxies. The reason is because 
these "ports that must be open" usually indicates traffic which is 
not HTTP based and instead direct communication between a client 
program (either binary or Java appled) and the server.

If you have a network where the proxy must be used then these 
applications usually can't be made to work unless redesigned to use 
the browser to connect to these ports via the CONNECT method rather 
than connecting directly, and the proxy reconfigured to allow CONNECT 
to these ports. This does not seem to be your case, as in such case 
the CONNECT request will be logged in Squid access.log even if 
denied.

If you have a network where the client stations can connect directly 
to these ports at the requested server then it might be a issue of 
reconfiguring the browsers to allow Java applets downloaded via a 
proxy to connect to the network. Some web browsers deny this by 
default when using a proxy unless the applet is signed for direct 
network access.
