They are the configuration of that custom helper Alex mentioned. The one
bundled with Squid does not do those checks either AFAIK. But should be
easily modifiable if you know Perl.

An ERR result from the helper should result in the invalid certificate
handling happening in Squid. Whether that results in a particular error
page (or not) depends on several things I'm not completely certain about.

Ah. I see the concurrency channel is not documented, but is being sent.
What Squid version are you using?

This helper is broken. The protocol here or even other helpers, has
never been to dump the input back to Squid.
Input and output "lines" have different syntax and contents.

Documented in the wiki:
"Total size of the following request bytes taken by the key=pair
parameters."

That is the byte size of the "host=...END CERTIFICATE-----" key-pair
part of the message.

The first '0' is concurrency channel ID. It is just an echo of the
channel-ID received on the request.

The other fields are as documented in the wiki. In this example there
are no key-pair values being sent back to Squid. Thus the "0" in the
size field.

\1 is the binary code (0x01) for end of line/message this helper
requires. We cannot use \n like other helpers since several \n are part
of the cert PEM format.
