[squid-users] Random image generator w/ reverse-proxy

All,
 
            I have a web page on my site that has a randomly generated image (Alpha numeric picture) to allow users to register. I am using squid as an accelerator in my DMZ to this internal web server. Right now the image is coded as an unsecured (http) link/servlet on port 8888, which is just a random port. This is embedded in a HTTPS page. If I don't use squid it works but through squid if fails to display the image.
            I have checked the firewall and it is properly configured. When I check the firewalls log, it shows the request to 8888 from the outside, but those same requests are never passed through squid for some reason. I have also run Wireshark on the squid server to capture the traffic as users made requests and I see the TCP [SYN] from the client to the squid servers IP address, but then the squid sends a TCP [RST, ACK]. When I watch the same request being made from the squid server running FireFox to the internal web server it makes the handshake. I cannot figure out why the reset is happening.
        I modified the logformat so that I can get some readable data and this is what I get from the output:
