There is no code in squid to "transform" content inside the cache
beyond headers. The development path for content transformation (of
which gzip compression is one of many potential examples of) is via
ICAP services (3.0 and above) and ECAP plugins (3.1).
That said, squid is 100% open source, so feel free to adapt the code
to your needs if you have the time and expertise.

Hi All,
Does anyone know of a way to implement gzip in Squid 2.6? I am new
to Squid and need to have this completed ASAP.
Can't be done. The best option is squid 3.1 with the accompanying eCAP
GZIP module, or MAYBE some ICAP service (but I don't know of any such
service).
