You mean the size of the CONNECT request transfer?

Yes, but you currently need to use custom log formats.

Copy the demo format (squid or common etc) from
squid.conf.default/squid.conf.documented or
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/logformat/

Replace the "%<st" tag with just "%st".

That will log the full transfer size including outgoing rather than just
the reply. You will notice a large increase in sizes for
POST/PUT/CONNECT and smaller increase for all others.
