 .. which development API?


like, rewrite the uri based on the request headers.

mod_rewrite? The same mod_rewrite whose documentation starts off with these two very telling quotes?

Yes, Squid certainly needs some URL rewriting, and Adrian has done some great work in this area. But I guessing the last thing they need is to imitate a module that even it's developers don't understand well.
