Details:

This directives limits the header size of a received HTTP request
(including request-line). Increasing this limit beyond its 64 KB default
exposes certain old Squid code to various denial-of-service attacks. This
limit also applies to received FTP commands.

This limit has no direct affect on Squid memory consumption.

Squid does not check this limit when sending requests.
