Yes, but not with Squid 3.1.8. See configuration_includes_quoted_values
in squid.conf.documented of Squid v3.4 or trunk (r12993 or later).

Support for configuration values with spaces is a work-in-progress and
v3.4 does not have all the fixes you may need, but it is worth trying.
If you use v3.4.0.1, set configuration_includes_quoted_values to on only
for the directive(s) that need it because several squid.conf directives
in that version cannot handle the new syntax yet.

HTH,

Alex.
