Logically, how would you expect squid to convey ERR_CONNECT_FAIL to the client if the network is down?
 
I can think of only one case where this might make sense -- client connects from localhost to a squid listening on localhost but going out on other interface... which would mean a very isolated case of use for a cache like squid.
