RE: [squid-users] Is it possible

Perhaps I put my question wrong. What I intended to ask was how to make
squid not process such request just like we stop the request by their
respective host IPs or protocols can we stop client request to be processed
by squid with respect to this error.

Requests resulting in "header-too-large" error is rejected by Squid, and
not cached (there is nothing to cache).

With the new req_header acl in Squid-2.5.STABLE7 you can match any request
headers you like if there is a certain pattern (besides sheer size) you
want to match and perhaps deny.
