    *  The request or reply is too large.

      If you are making a POST or PUT request, then your request body (the thing you are trying to upload) is too large. If you are making a GET request, then the reply body (what you are trying to download) is too large. These limits have been established by the Internet Service Provider who operates this cache. Please contact them directly if you feel this is an error.

The information you have provided is insufficient, I think you should give last 15 lines of your cache.log , last 15 lines of you access log and also copy + paste of you browser's whole text when it shows error.

And please also tell us if you were earlier able to surf the internet using same configuration?

So instead of giving that you should have posted the following.. -->

Anyways.. there is a option in squid.conf where you can raise the max size of an object to be delivered.
Its some max_object_size ! (don't remmeber exactly).
Its actually configuratino problem.. nothing more !
try to find and do yourself , if any error then I will post exactly what you have to change. !
