With a squid redirector (which is presumably what you mean) the things you need to do are pretty simple: * Read a line of text as sent to you by squid on stdin * do some transform (if appropriate) * Write the line back to stdout The key thing you want to ensure is that you're not buffered. ie make sure at the top of your python script you have "-u" after the python path. ie your minimal script should look something like: #!/usr/bin/python -u import sys while 1: line = sys.stdin.readline() # do something sys.stdout.write(line) Really quite simple you'll be pleased to see.
