Squid returns this message when the connection is refused by the requested web server. Common reasons is if the web server is simply not running or is overloaded.
It may also be seen if the ISP is running a proxy which is refusing the connections, possibly due to overload at the ISP proxy.. The message can also sometimes be caused by broken firewalls misdetecting the perfectly valid connection request as a hacker.. If you have upgraded your RedHat 6.2 to use a Linux-2.4 kernel then see the Squid FAQ for a longer discussion. If this is the problem then if shows up for certain sites and those sites can never be reached via the proxy but seems to work when connecting directly.
