Squid is complaining that the URL contains whitespace, which isn't
allowed (but often happens). If you're worried about the load
from logging these messages (at one per minute, I wouldn't be)
you can turn them off by using debug_options in /etc/squid.conf;
for instance, I have
debug_options ALL,1
debug_options url_parse,0
which gives me a little debug infoprmation about some things, but
none at all about this kind of thing.
Also have a look at the section for the uri_whitespace option,
which allows you to specify what action squid should take when
such a URI is requested.
