I suspect that there's already something out there to do what You want.
What do You want to filter? Squid can filter some things with acls.
DansGuardian (www.dansguardian.org) is a very nice little content filter
for most things that people usually want to filter. Other pieces of
software (like the commercial WebWasher) use ICAP, for which Squid
already has a client. ICAP does exactly what You're looking for, and is
standardized to boot.
