Squid does not have the capability to rewrite content. I'm not sure
that it can rewrite the URL in accelerator mode. Apache can rewrite
the URL using mod_rewrite; however, it doesn't inherently provide the
ability to rewrite page content. Instead of using mod_proxy to
return the retrieved content to the requestor with the rewritten URL,
you would want to use mod_php, mod_perl, mod_python to implement a
routine to scan and rewrite the page content.

I don't know. I use Squid in its basic form to support client
browsers. I use Apache and mod_rewrite to implement a service
similar to Squid's accelerator mode and to provide SSL encryption
between the security perimeter and the browser.

Of course, I could be all wet as I haven't really looked at the
changes in Squid since the late Nineties.
