Reality after looking at the code:
Mangling is done after peer selection right at the last milli-second
before sending the headers down the wire. It is done on all HTTP
requests including CONNECT tunnels when they are relayed.

Peering info *is* available. But "src" ACL does not check for that
property.

If you have 3.1 I think you want to add a "peername" ACL like so:

acl peerX peername X
request_header_access User-Agent allow OFFICE !peerX
...

I have 3.2.0.1 and unfortunately this does not work either. I will check on 3.2.0.7 (would that make a difference?).

May do. I don't recall changing anything there directly but the passing around of request details has been fixed in a few places earlier which may affect it.

Also, do you have this part which I forgot to add?
  cache_peer ....  name=X



Furthermore, it would be nice to able to select UA like:

request_header_replace User-Agent OFFICE Mozilla
request_header_replace User-Agent HOME IE

Well...

 request_header_access User-Agent deny OFFICE Mozilla
 request_header_replace User-Agent HOME IE

... should also be working if a "browser" type ACL is used to check the User-Agent field for "Mozilla".


P.S.: Nice for some maybe, but which of the 3.5 million or more browser U-A strings do you suggest we hard-code into Squid for faking like this? No, we picked to leave it optional and open for future browsers and tools to be developed. Especially since it is a standard violation to actually do any U-A changes. There are good reasons for *some* of those sites behaviour and each piece of the U-A has significant meanings.
