Seems like I did not cc the list on my first reply !!!
Here is how I was able to block uploads larger than 500KB:

acl my_net src 10.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
acl USERA src 10.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
acl UPLIMIT req_header Content-Length [5-9][0-9]{5,}
acl UPMETH method post
http_access deny USERA UPMETH UPLIMIT
http_access allow my_net
http_access deny_all

PS: Though I was able to block the uploads the traffic still hits
squid (eq: 2MB) before it displays the deny page
