Note: content-length of the reply is only available in
http_reply_access, and external acl's is not compatible with
http_reply_access as http_reply_access as of yet is a "quick" type of
acl check not allowing for external lookups to complete..

For this kind of applications you need a multiuser capable database with
locking and/or transactions.

This one.

But see above.

For your application you will need two programs:

1. A daemon that tails access.log to maintain the quota database

2. A external acl which queries the quota database to see if the user
has quota left or not.
