Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: squid3

eCAP is a software interface that allows a network application, such as
an HTTP proxy or an ICAP server, to outsource content analysis and
adaptation to a loadable module. For each applicable protocol message
being processed, an eCAP-enabled host application supplies the message
details to the adaptation module and gets back an adapted message, a
"not interested" response, or a "block this message now!" instruction.
These exchanges often include message bodies.

The adaptation module can also exchange meta-information with the host
application to supply additional details such as configuration options,
a reason behind the decision to ignore a message, or a detected virus
name.

If you are familiar with the ICAP protocol (RFC 3507), then you may
think of eCAP as an "embedded ICAP", where network interactions with an
ICAP server are replaced with function calls to an adaptation module.

See: http://www.e-cap.org/ and http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/eCAP

It would be great if eCAP support would be enabled in the ubuntu squid
builds.
