What you are asking for is called ICAP protocol.
It is available from Squid-3.0 onwards.
  http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/ICAP

Though from your description you only need an external_acl_type helper
to receive a custom formatted set of information and send an allow/deny
back to Squid.

These are available in all current Squid, with some small variation on
the details passable.
