No. Thats another two issues altogether.

The authentication one is probably a configuration issue. But may be an
auth bug.

The upload one may be related to squid blocking unknown HTTP request
methods, or the size of the objects being uploaded.

A good cache.log trace of the two operations should lead you to the problem.
