FORMAT is a list of the details you want passed to the helper.
I have a helper that does a similar job for me to what you are trying to
setup. The config for that is:
external_acl_type prepay_test ttl=0 negative_ttl=0 %SRC %DST
/etc/squid3/squid-check-users.sh
acl prepaid_users external prepay_test
deny_info http://wifi.treenet.co.nz/ prepaid_users
http_access deny localnet !prepaid_users
http_access allow localnet prepaid_users
