I am not sure this is the same topic, but I have already raised doubts
(on the wiki and in the bug report) that we should extend the
Squid-specific helper interface significantly beyond its current
relatively simple state. I still believe it is worth discussing whether
more complex uses should be routed through ICAP or eCAP instead of
slowly inventing yet another complicated and poorly maintained traffic
adaptation interface.
