From squid.conf:

# We strongly recommend the following be uncommented to protect innocent
# web applications running on the proxy server who think the only
# one who can access services on "localhost" is a local user
#http_access deny to_localhost

In other words this blocks attempts to request http://localhost/... on the
proxy server via the proxy.
