GET <url> HTTP/1.0

where <url> is a URL you want to fetch via the proxy. If only probing
then use for example one of the internal icons used in FTP directory
listings...

ICP is UDP based so you cannot connect there. But you can send a ICP
query message. The ICP message format is described in RFC 2186, and I
think there is a Perl module on CPAN if you are using perl for your
probes.
Also note that Squid can be monitored using SNMP. This can provide you
with quite some details on how the proxy performs, and can easily be
plotted using MRTG or a similar tool.
