Byte-level controls like this are not possible without severely screwing
up all the HTTP transactions a client has.
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Portal/Splash outlines how to
configure it per-object instead.
  There are payment-required status codes in HTTP that can be combined
with the splash if you can guarantee the client software will support them.

3.2 is needed for client bandwidth limits.
