If you are not too far along down this path, consider writing an adapter
for one of the existing ICAP servers and/or eCAP. ICAP is far more
complex than it seems, and, in most cases, reinventing that [complex]
wheel is a bad idea. I am a biased ICAP server seller, and your YMMV,
but I have seen too many folks suffer through such projects to resist
commenting.

Could it be Squid bug 4353?
