So, only one port, and its a NAT traffic receiving port. Looks like
Squid was right, "no forward-proxy ports configured".

Should not be on every request, that is a sign of some other problem
happening. Just on the ones which need to produce internal URLs (ie
error page icons, FTP directory icons, cache manager requests, etc).
Squid requires a forward-proxy port for the URL it tells the browser to
fetch those icons from. A NAT or TROXY receiving port is somewhat
vulnerable to forgery attacks and Squid now avoids publishing its
details. Accel ports have some problematic cases in the parser and until
those are figured out properly they are avoided as well. Which just
leaves the regular old forward-proxy port for now.

Adding "http_port 3128" or somesuch is enough to avoid this message.
