Hi I added code to set "tag" in acl helper, as follows: print "OK tag=abcd\n" and I was able to add a url_rewrite_extras as follows: url_rewrite_extras "%et" and it was passed to the url rewriter. So, I guess it is working. thanks for the help Sreenath On 1/20/16, Alex Rousskov <rousskov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 01/20/2016 09:33 AM, Sreenath BH wrote: > >> Squid allows external acl helpers to write arbitrary key-value pairs >> in its output. > >> Are these available for use by other modules of Squid? > > The answer depends on the helper: eCAP services and many helpers support > admin-configurable metadata exchanges.
