Then your url_regex contains a pattern which matches this URL.

Your first step should be to understand why your url_regex pattern is
matching this URL (the length of the URL is not the reason). Once you
know this it is easy to make the correct ation. The correct action
may be to restructure your url_regex to be more precise in matching
what it should match, or to make additional rules with exceptions,
depending on the reason why there is a match.

Yes, by making http_access rules which do so.

Squid only uses acls as instructed by http_access.

nitpicking: Nothing is ever blocked by an acl in Squid, only by
http_access rules using acls.
