Third party IPC calls to Chromium to capture/filter traffic

I want to implement a network level AdBlock/NoScript-like tool for Chromium, but Chromium Extension API can not do much about controlling raw request data.

So here is the idea:

  1. Capture all HTTP queries, and cancel one if URL or MIME matches.
  2. Hand craft packets, like insert a header to an HTTP query.

Can this be implemented by running a thirdparty client making IPC calls to Chromium? A snippet of sample code would be awesome!

(Note: Security is not a problem at the moment coz I only want to try it out for personal interest, not for public distribution. So it may break the sandbox mechanism.)

No it cannot. The Chromium network stack does not support this level of control, neither by Chromium extension, nor by IPC. It's a work in progress. You should watch http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=50943.
