i think anonymizer actually runs a cgi script. doesn't the browser
actually show something like:

https://my.proxy.net:nnnn/?http://whatever.com

if it doesn't, then they're prolly making a file on the fly.

you might also want to look at mod_proxy for apache.

ProxyPass
Syntax: ProxyPass <path> <url>
Default: None
Context: server config, virtual host
Override: Not applicable
Status: Base
Module: mod_proxy
Compatibility: ProxyPass is only available in Apache 1.1 and later.
This directive allows remote servers to be mapped into the space of the
local server; the local server does not act as a
proxy in the conventional sense, but appears to be a mirror of the remote
server. <path> is the name of a local virtual
path; <url> is a partial URL for the remote server. 
Suppose the local server has address http://wibble.org/; then 
   ProxyPass /mirror/foo/ http://foo.com/
will cause a local request for the <http://wibble.org/mirror/foo/bar> to
be internally converted into a proxy request to <http://foo.com/bar>.

i don't think this is really a squid question, unless you're planning on
hacking squid to be the backend of your cgi script.
good luck.
