What makes me wonder: during build, 'squid' says it can open '32768', during start its '4096'. If someone knows why, please enlighten me... ;-)
4096 is the default maximum number of files any process can open at the same.
This is to protect the system from going crazy by having too many open files (because I think the file descriptor table used to be of a static size in older versions of the kernel).
I suppose this is enough and I can live with 32k. We should remove the field from the UI then.
Me too, but are 4096 enough?
No. I don’t know why the squid team isn’t handling this better. We are hitting this problem every time we update to a new version.
I suppose this is fine for testing.
You can try adding “ulimit -n 32768” to the squid init script and then it should be able to open up to 32k files.

Thanks for the clarification - I tested this with 'squid 5.1'. It seems to work:
... case "1$" in start) ulimit -n 32768 getpids "squid" ...
What is “getpids” good for?
Its a function call from '/etc/init.d/functions', but please don't ask me what its good for: ;-)
***SNIP*** # This will ensure compatibility with previous LFS Bootscripts getpids() { if [ -z "${PIDFILE}" ]; then pidofproc -s -p "${PIDFILE}" $@ else pidofproc -s $@ fi base="${1##*/}" } ***SNAP***
Adding the ulimit call to the initscript and removing the configuration option from the CGI script is fine with me.
I'm testing. Works.

For my 'cache_peer' problem I opened a bug report (https://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5147). Work in progress.
I didn’t get it, but I am sure you know what you are doing :)
Despite being "only" a "non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for enhancing privacy", 'privoxy' still threw away up to 15-20% of unnecessary or unwanted ads or internet junk. I wanted to keep it.
It is good to work together with upstream.
Yep. And the 'squids' are friendly... ;-)
As I read the last answers (really fast reaction!), these messages about "failed" TCP connections are triggered by the rejected CONNECTs from 'privoxy'. "Squid v4 did not consider rejected CONNECTs a problem worth marking the peer DEAD for." They fixed this bug and now 'squid 5.1' does... And "the bad header field is sent by privoxy".
For now, I've disabled 'privoxy' to see how things are going without it.
Best, Matthias
