Re: context data for squid ICAP patched

Hi Beeri,
 Maybe you do not need to modify the squid-icap code to support your model.
I think that the correct implementation of your problem using squid-icap
is:

1) An http request come into the squid. Squid sends the reqmod request to
 the icap server and server clasifies the request:
   a) In the case of the BLOCK icap server creates a http responce saying
      to the web client that the request blocked
   b) In the case of UNKNOWN icap server does nothing
   c) In the case of ALLOW icap server adds a proprietary http header
      to the http request for example "X-MY-SCANNER: Allow"

2) When squid has the http responce then sends a respmod request to the
   icap server. The respmod request contains the http responce
   headers AND the http request headers.
     a) When icap server founds the "X-MY-SCANNER: Allow" header
        in http request headers it responds with an allow204 responce to
        squid
     b)The "X-MY-SCANNER: Allow" is not in the http request headers
       so the icap server takes the http body from squid and check it or
       modify it or what else.

An other solutions is to use only the respmod request becouse
here you have both the http request headers and the http responce.

I am not sure that I fully understand your question, but I think that
this functionality can not included in a general ICAP client of squid.
But maybe I am loosing something here.....
