As I said: request for icons is under http_access restrictions like
any other requests.

If you do not have a rule which allows access to the icons the user
will not be allowed access.

Note: It is NOT sufficient to just add the icon in the icons
directory. You must also tell Squid about it by adding a fake line in
mime.conf.
