You have to add a custom signature to all error messages, using a
different time format specification.

Squid automatically appends the following signature when there is no
signature in the error page itself (criteria: %s is not used):

---- cut here ----
<br clear="all">
<hr noshade size=1>
Generated %T by %h (%s)
</BODY></HTML>
---- cut here ----

To get local time reported instead of UTC without hacking Squid sources
you have to manually append this signature to all error messages, but
use %t instead of %T for the time specification.

See middle of src/errorpage.c for a complete list of %_ codes that can
be used in error pages. Note that not all codes make sense on every type
of error page.
