Or Is it possible? For a given HTTP message, Squid 3.0 can select zero or one ICAP service. Future Squid versions will probably be able to select a list of ICAP services for a given HTTP message. The services would then be applied one after another, in a chain- or pipe-like manner, where the output of the previous service becomes the input of the next one. Developers are looking for those who need that kind of functionality. Sorry, I do not know what you mean by "not only processing ICAP services in a row, but also controls sequence of ICAP services". An example might help. Thank you, Alex. P.S. Squid2 with some ICAP patches can support ICAP service chaining, but poorly.
