Thanks. I did look at one of his projects - embedded content adaptation 
(writing eCAP adapter using the libecap module). I felt using a simple web 
client to read store.log and getting cached content from squid might be more 
easier and straight forward.

I think you should contact Alex,  (rousskov at measurement-factory.com) about 
the MD5 hashing. He has been working on a project to calculate and exchange 
object Digests for URL de-duplication on slow network links. It also requires 
this type of hash calculation and AFAIK he has already worked out how to do 
this efficiently inside Squid.
