Why not? If rewriting is needed, an ICAP or eCAP service can rewrite the
response body before Squid serves it.

However, in practice, this kind of page rewriting does not work very
well (regardless of which software is doing the rewrite) because many
page URLs are formed dynamically on the client side (by Javascript code).
