 Take a look at the EUI handling changes in Squid-3.2. This may help you
 with some of it and perhapse some alternative ideas.

 Reading between the lines I guess you are trying to setup a background
 MAC-based login?

 Full EUI is planned to become available with squid-3.2. It is currently
 available in logs and external_acl parameters. The error page and splash
 page substitution is still being worked on.

 For now you can use the %o tag to embed it in error pages. Which
 displays arbitrary content sent back by the external_acl_type helper in
 its message= reply parameter.
