Any of the ACLs which work in http_access should work there too.

However, because HTTP contains message pipelines the arrival time of any 
given request may be significantly different from the response delivery 
time. i.e. there may be earlier requested responses using the connection 
between now (when the MARK gets set by the newly arrived request) and 
the response you were intending to mark. So it is best to only rely on 
TCP level things if you can.
