request_header_max_size

        This specifies the maximum size for HTTP headers in a request.
        Request headers are usually relatively small (about 512 bytes).
        Placing a limit on the request header size will catch certain
        bugs (for example with persistent connections) and possibly
        buffer-overflow or denial-of-service attacks.

request_header_max_size 0 bytes

tells Squid that basically no requests are acceptable as all requests are
larger than the configured limit.
