[squid-users] Sending json error messages

[Sreenath BH]

I believe ICAP or eCAP would be better suited for our needs. But
having invested into the external_acl_type helper way of working, I am
exploring what best can be done.

I hope there is a simple way to do this.

Also, ICAP is essentialy another web-server (unless I use eCAP) that I
would like to avoid.

thanks,
Sreenath
