Correct.

Buffering of requests is usually not such big problem as most requests
is fairly small, but if you need to delay forwarding of requests to
allow Squid to buffer PUT/POST data then Squid-2.HEAD has some tweaks
for this.

http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/request_body_delay_forward_size/

Not yet ported to Squid-3.

Be warned that setting this too high opens up for a memory consumption
based denial of service attack, so use it carefully.
