No. Squid can only block on information available within HTTP such as
URLs or mime types, not actual content returned within the reply or
posted within the POST/PUT.

Yes. See request_body_max_size.

Note: Will not work for https:// requests as Squid (or any other proxy
or firewall) has no way of knowing what is a POST or how loarge it is
within https:// as all traffic is encrypted by the browser..
