Just an idea for long-term(trunk):
Instead of storing an additional set of headers and corresponding code: why not make these header_ modify and others an ecap service that can get added if needed? Then it would get modified in the request/response-modification phase and would get logged correctly... Also it would cleanup the code-paths I would assume... 

Thanks anyway for your help...

Ciao,
	Martin

Well, if you do not care which Via you are logging (request or
response), then <h will work. I thought you wanted to log the Via sent
to the server, not the Via sent to the client. The last/Squid portion of
that Via header will be the same, of course, but all the other entries
(if any) will usually differ. If you only care about the last/Squid
portion of Via, then logging response Via is a good solution.

A correct implementation of that idea would require more work than it
may seem. From adaptation point of view, request_header_access vectoring
point is "post-cache REQMOD" while ICAP/eCAP and URL rewriter work at
"pre-cache REQMOD" point. We should not mix the two points.

We should add a new logformat code to log request headers sent by Squid,
but it is not trivial because those headers are currently not preserved
anywhere IIRC (and Squid may send multiple requests for a single client
request). Quality patches or sponsorships welcome.

For now, I polished [http::]>h and [http::]>ha logformat descriptions in
trunk to emphasize their pre-cache scope.


Cheers,

Alex.
