My understanding is that Squid checks the helper to carry out a check
against the IP, User, etc according to the FORMAT parameter to test
that they belong to an acl, based on OK or ERR. My script was just a
simple test against the existence of a file generated by a cgi script
called by the ACCESS_DENIED error page replacement.

If you can see a way to short-cut this, please tell me more!

As far as I can see, though, Squid is looking for either OK or ERR and
ignores anything else....
