Squid and the redirector communicates with each other using pipes
connected to the stdin and stdout file handles on the redirector.

What this means is that the redirector uses the normal input/output
methods, and all you need to rember is to turn off buffering for output
in the program (or at least set it to line buffering). When a program is
connected to a terminal UNIX by default uses line buffering, but when
connected to a pipe block buffering is used.
