Please post this as an enhancement request to Squid bugzilla.

FWIW, if your primary goal is to correlate Squid and ICAP Server
transactions, I would propose adding an X-Squid-Xact ICAP request header
that will carry a unique (within a single Squid run) Squid HTTP
transaction identifier and possibly a unique Squid ICAP transaction
identifier as well.

Those transaction IDs are already logged in cache.log with sufficient
debugging verbosity level. We can also add a feature to log HTTP
transaction ID to access.log.

Thank you,

Alex.
