  OK, but if the ISP parent is the only one
with Internet access , and your local squid hasn't; then you need
 
   never_direct allow all

in squid.conf.

  It should be needed, if you can't figure it out further.

  The access.log entries from the application would be sufficient.
  Check the acces status for each object accessed through squid.
  Look for status-es indication failures , if any.
