It look like http policy or squid http cache is screwed up.

Try clean up squid cache at first.

1)Stop squid, and erase all the files in your cache directory
squid -k shutdown
rm -fr /var/lib/squid/cache/*

2)Re-create the swap directory structure
squid -z

3)Start squid again

Then the issue may be in shorewall.
First, yoy can dump shorewall status to check whether any problem report.
shorewall show nat
shorewall show tos
shorewall show log
shorewall monitor [ delay ]
shorewall drop
shorewall reject

Second, if no error report, restart shorewall.
shorewall restart

if you need i can provide a login details.
please help me ?

thanks,
