AFAICT this rule is invalid and never matches anything because no URL
can start with 'suggest' like that.

This is configured in Squid-3.2+ with:

 acl bla src all
 deny_info http://bla.bla.bla%R bla
 http_access deny bla

However note that context for the lines is significant in both Apache
and Squid. If you have the above embeded in a VirtualHost in Apache then
replace the "src all" in my example with "dstdomain " followed by the
FQDN of that VirtualHost.

Particular to Squid ordering is important. Those lines must be in that
order, and the http_access position relative to all other http_access
determines whether it affects a request or not (they are tested top-down
in a first match wins basis).
