There cannot be such setting because 204s outside of Preview are not
always possible. Squid will not buffer a 1GB object and then wait for
the ICAP server to decide what to do with it, for example.
However, Squid should support early ICAP responses. You can write your
server so that it starts spitting a 200 OK response back before it
receives the entire ICAP request. Please see ICAP errata for details and
caveats. This is the right way to implement read-only ICAP servers that
deal with large messages, IMO.

Please file a bug report in bugzilla if you have not already.
Thank you,
