Nice idea, however there is no easy answer. It will likely take a redesign
to make this possible:

1) the ACLs are tested mid-stream when content-length is missing from the
headers. Thus no error page at all can be returned on many requests.

2) This part of squid is a black-box lookup to pull the theoretical
maximum body size. The ACL lookups and the code which compares the object
size to the expected max are not related.
