squid configuration question

I have a question regarding the squid configuration.
I am running Squid-2.1.PATCH2 on SCO UNIX.
I have my part of squid.conf file as follows
...
http_port 3128
...
http_access allow all
...

When I try
telnet localhost 3128
and do a
GET http://www.anysite.com

it would not get me the HTML because it is not in the cache. instead it
give me a connection timeout page.
is there anything i can configure in the squid.conf or other conf files,
which allow me to GET html files from any server which does not exist in
cache?
in another words, can squid go to the web directly to get the file when
it is not in cache?

thanks
