You do not need to modify any Squid code.

You provide a helper process to translate between Squid APIs and some 
internal system API. see 
<https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/AddonHelpers> for details on the 
Squid APIs.

Though as I posted, there are likely already some helpers you can find 
(maybe bundled with Squid) which interface with your internal systems.
