I am not sure this is the same topic, but I have already raised doubts (on the wiki and in the bug report) that we should extend the Squid-specific helper interface significantly beyond its current relatively simple state. I still believe it is worth discussing whether more complex uses should be routed through ICAP or eCAP instead of slowly inventing yet another complicated and poorly maintained traffic adaptation interface.
