Unfortunately this needs to be rewritten from scratch as the approach
used in the original rproxy patch is no longer valid as too much have
changed in the internal request processing of Squid.

Quite likely this kind of thing is easier to do now than it was before
thanks to the foundation work done by Robert for the ESI branch, but it
is hard to know before attempted..

Explanation of how the feature works:

If certain predefined "error" conditions is met on the reply then the
body of the reply is replaced with that of another internally generated
request and the HTTP headers cleaned up to be consistent with the new
body.

This is applied to any responses, not only Squid errors.

You are more than welcome to help updating the changes to HEAD. This is
all changes in the Squid-2 rproxy branch relating to the keyword
'urlgroup'.

I am currently busy on other tasks and can not give a estimate on when I
will find time to update this to HEAD. I do not see it as a feature very
many will find useful and haven't given it much priority, but am more
than happy to merge it if I receive a clean patch for HEAD as it is a
very non-intrusive change not changing anything unless actively used by
configuration and/or redirectors..
