There is no external acl method for accessing reply headers, only
request headers.

Also, in squid-2.5 external acl methods is not suitable for use in
http_reply_access as http_reply_access can not wait for any external
lookups to complete. The latter is addressed in Squid-3 I think.

(access controls using reply headers must take place in
http_reply_access, as they need access to the reply and http_access
executes before the request is forwarded..)
