This looks interesting. Am I understanding this correctly that Squid
HEAD can now rewrite urls without an external application? Any ideas
how this might compare performance-wise against a dedicated external
app like squidGuard or Squirm (for simple URL rewrites)? Will this
land in 2.7 soon?

Trying to parse the changeset now... are there any more readable notes
on how this feature is configured?
