 None of this is relevant operations for any proxy/relay to be doing.

 Body data validation is a basic security measure that MUST be performed
 properly by each application. Squid will validate that the transfered
 body is the right size or the right encoding. Whether the background
 application can handle the request is a matter for that application to
 say.

  If you are stuck with a dud web-app you could write yourself a wrapper
 script or program for it which did all this and passed the results to
 the other app. That would also allow you to do things like split the
 request body into sections for action across several calls to the SOAP
 app.
