Yes it is doable (but unusual). First you need to tell Squid which requests
should be rewritten, then send them to a rewrite program to be transformed.
Identify the domains like this:
acl rewrite-domains dstdomain .yahoo.com .google.com etc)
Then set up a URL rewriting program, and only allow it to process requests
matching the rewrite-domains ACL, like this:
url_rewrite_program /tmp/rewrite-program.pl
url_rewrite_extras "%>ru"
url_rewrite_access allow rewrite-domains
url_rewrite_access deny all
The program itself can be anything. A very simple example in Perl might look
like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
$| = 1;
# Enter loop
while (my $thisline = <>) {
my @parts = split(/\s+/, $thisline);
my $url = $parts[0];
$url =~ s/http:\/\/(.*)/http:\/\/192.168.1.1\/$1/g;
print "OK rewrite-url=\"$url\"\n";
}
If you input http://www.yahoo.com/page.html, this will be transformed to
http://192.168.1.1/www.google.com/page.html. The helper just needs to print
that out prepended by "OK rewrite-url=xxx". More info at
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/url_rewrite_program/
Of course, you will need something listening on 192.168.1.1 (Apache, nginx,
whatever) that can deal with those rewritten requests. That is an unusual way
of getting requests to 192.168.1.1 though, because you are effectively putting
the hostname component into the URL then sending it to a web service and
expecting it to deal with that.
Another note. If you have a cache_peer defined, you might need some config to
force rewritten requests to be sent to 192.168.1.1 and not your cache peer. In
that case this should do the trick:
acl rewrite-host dst 192.168.1.1
always_direct allow rewrite-host
