All legal issues aside... I'm not sure how pratically possible this
is... Most of all, if you have https encrypted sessions: the whole idea
about ssl is that one cannot eavesdrop between the browser and the
server on the other side... so neither squid nor any other proxy will be
able to do this. So you'd have to ban https traffic.
The only solution I can think of is some customized browser which keeps
it's cache accessible on the network (but then I'm not sure if browsers
cache encrypted pages)... or a special application which immitates
everything a browser does, but as a bonus logs all posted data...
in short I doubt if squid or any other web proxy application can do the
amount of logging you need.

hmmm on the other hand... if you would be able to tell squid to redirect
all POST queries to a custom script, the script could dump the contents
to a log and then pass it on the the original location maybe? (which
still doesn't solve the ssl problem though)
the GET queries can be easily turned on in the log btw...

Ricardo.
