OK, so the two sequence numbers indicate that there should, in fact, be 56 bytes of data in the TCP segment.

If that's the *first* TCP segment sent from host 192.168.40.3 port 49869 to host 10.10.10.53 port 80, then that is 
reported by Wireshark as an invalid request, and rejected by Squid as an invalid request, because it *IS* an invalid 
request!  It looks like a bunch of random binary data, but an HTTP request needs to look like

        {command} {path} HTTP/1.1

or something such as that, for example

        GET / HTTP/1.1

Is somebody trying to send encrypted HTTP-over-SSL/HTTP-over-TLS to port 80?
