Here is the code:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char a[50],b[50];
    cin>>a>>b;
    while(cin)
    {
        // do whatever
        if( condition )
            cout<<"OK\n";
        else
            cout<<"ERR\n";
        cin>>a>>b;
    }
}

You may alternatively use cin.getline(a,49); to get the entire line
into a variable and manually split the different components.

I was referring to the proxy address setting in your browser's
configuration (the place where you mention the IP adress and port of
squid). Sorry for being unclear.
