Why do you assume the request came from Squid?

Squid doesn't cache objects larger than 'maximum_object_size'.

If your maximum_object_size is larger than your cache size,
you might have problems.

it depends on the number of clients reading from the object.
If its an uncachable object, it should have a private cache key,
and then there should only be one client. If there is just
one client, and the object is not cachable, the disk is never used.
