You are not redirecting. There is no 3xx status code passed back to Squid.

What you are doing is re-writing. Telling _Squid_ to fetch the altered
URL. Which it can't for file://

Send back: 302:file://block.html

Or you could use the Squid ACLs for their designed use in http_access
and supply custom errors via the deny_info directive.

Reducing by >30% the software complexity.
