:P As I said, it wouldn't be difficult to be a straight TCP proxy, with a little
bit of "wrapping" to allow it to be forwarded to an upstream proxy via CONNECT.
Its not as much as what Squid-3 can do but its certainly enough for basic ACLs,
and its a good starting point for other kinds of TCP data processing.
