You don't.

URL re-writer sole purpose is to tell Squid whether the URL part of the
headers is to be altered before fetching or not. There is nothing else it
can do.

In order to detect length of transaction etc it would have to do the
download itself and redirect the client to some local custom location where
it stored the object.
