Personally, I would not recommend using client streams and would use eCAP or, if compatibility with other proxies is desirable, ICAP. Depending on your design, the last two options may be accomplished with pretty much the same code. More-or-less unbiased comparison of various options, including the three mentioned above is at http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ContentAdaptation (message archival is one of the adaptation forms even though the term does not fit well).
