Thanks for the info! Your tests would be a good start. Hopefully, you
can make them independent from Squid version and ICAP server software.
In my experience, it helps to have some simple logic that replaces
certain header values with placeholders to avoid version and similar
dependencies (Server, Date, ISTag are likely candidates for such a
replacement).

Dealing with Encapsulated value differences is much harder,
unfortunately: Any HTTP header modification would cause that value to
change. If you only compare HTTP responses, then Encapsulated values
do not matter, of course.

Good luck,

Alex.
