now, there's one more strange thing i've noticed (and hadn't noticed before)

when changing the request_size in squid.conf i usually restart squid. no errors
are printed.
but when doing squid -k reconfigure i get:
2000/10/05 16:05:47| parseConfigFile: line 35 unrecognized: 'request_size 10240
KB'

is the parameter no longer supported?
have i misspelt it? (already tried maximum_request_size and max_request_size)
