Squid can't do this, as it (currently) has no functionality that can modify
the contents of served objects. There are other proxies that might be able
to do this. Have a look at DeleGate, or perhaps Zorp.

Note that delegate has much more functionality than just http so might be
overkill and/or buggy. I have seen a fairly damning security report on it
(buffer overflows etc), but that was more than a year ago so it might have
been cleaned up since.

Zorp seems to be much cleaner, but probably doesn't have exactly what you
want. It is a general purpose modular proxy firewall, with modules for
various protocols. New modules, such as url-re-writting can be easily
scripted in python.
