If you want injected advertisements share the page with the original
content (e.g., a thin ad bar on top of the page), you will need to use
ICAP or eCAP to modify "pages" on the fly. It is difficult to do
correctly, writing code is required, and you will annoy both users and
content owners, but it can be done in most cases.
If you want injected advertisements to suspend (or even cancel) the
delivery of the original content, then you can use redirectors, ICAP,
eCAP, and possibly other tricks. This application becomes similar to the
initial proxy login page then, except the page is annoying and appears
more often. You may be able to find and adjust existing solutions
without writing [a lot of] code.
HTH,
Alex.
