FYI:
The squid wiki http://wiki.squid-cache.org has the authoritative current
information and how-tos.

The config manual http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config has the
authoritative content on all options since Squid-2.5 what they do and
where they are available.

What do you mean by "proxy + cache for http"? none of those words
meanings individually or together match with httpd_accel config options
meaning.

Your config as posted shows:
  A regular forward proxy listening on port 3128 and only allowing
traffic from localhost (aka IP 127.0.0.1) through to the internet.
Some extension HTTP methods have been added to allow SVN to work through
the proxy.
Port security has been updated to allow rsync, cups and SWAT protocols
to be sent over standard HTTP, and rsync, snews over CONNECT tunnel
requests.
The proxy sits in a private network of 192.168.2.0/24, though the
network hosts are not allowed to use it.

What do you need to add/alter from that?
