<https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/CustomErrors> or as I showed
earlier with logformat codes. Though sorry that does require a later
Squid version that the one you have.

Not in Squid-3. The tag= is not supported by the deny_info template
codes. Only the message= can be used.

 deny_info 302:https:%o bad_Location

This should do it for Squid-3 (and avoids the config parser bug). You
just have to have the helper produce the URL (without the "https:"
scheme name) as its message= value.
