Odd. This looks like a malformed request stream, where some POST data is
read as the next request...

This is quite normal.. as the connection is intercepted before it is known
if the reqested web site is up or not it is not Squid who has to report
connection failures.

If you find that some sites is no longer reachable then you may be running
into ECN blackholes on the Internet. See Squid FAQ on Linux for
workarounds.
