If it helps, here is Henrik the squid-2 maintainers announcement:

So there is one question we never actually got answers to on the general ML.

Why do "push"?

I can only think of two possible reasons:
  * you are wanting to manipulate the object data somehow. Using
prefetch+push to get around the lack of ICAP RESPMOD adaptation in squid-2.
  * you did not understand us very well when we described how to do GET
through Squid.

What does the option do?
