But Squid doesn't. It sends data to the client while it arrives from the
server.

If you want to do this in Squid you will need to study quite a bit of
source code I am afraid. Especially if you are looking at the Squid-2.x
code base. Squid-3 is a bit easier with it's client-streams interface,
but documentation pretty thin on how to use them.

So grab a Squid-3 snapshot
<http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.0/>, C-ICAP
<http://c-icap.sourceforge.net/>, and focus on implementing your filter
not having to worry about the details of what goes on within Squid. This
will be your quickest path.
