Ack! This is not correct....

This acl is there to define requests that are DESTINED FOR localhost*.
What you need to do is add another acl...

acl localhost src 127.0.0.0/8

...which matches requests SOURCED FROM localhost.

The way it is now...

http_access allow manager localhost

...allows ANYONE to access the manager interface of the local Squid.
This is (very likely) not what you want.

* It is usually used in conjunction with "http_access deny to_localhost"
to prevent requests through Squid to services on the local machine which
(naively?) assume that localhost is not network accessible.
