Please see http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ContentAdaptation

The public adaptation examples would be various ICAP-capable virus
filters and also the ESI support in Squid3 that was written using
ClientStreams API. There are lots of private/closed adaptation services
using ICAP.

The above FAQ entry may give you the initial information necessary to
decide which method works best for your needs. Please feel free to post
any specific questions not answered there, of course.

Thank you,
