The above can be accomplished with the help of the session acl helper in
it's active mode, combined with a internal web server for serving the
splash page and redirecting the user back to the requested URL when
clicking on Connect.

Thats a separate question. Not exactly a job for Squid but more one of
the ad busting proxies in combination with Squid.. You need to not only
replace the images but also rewrite the HTML and Javascript content on
the fly.

Also be warned that such rewriting is generally not allowed. Web sites
is protected by copyright, plus terms of use also placing restrictions.
So you better run this question with your lawyer before putting it to
serious use.
