Here is my config for session helper:

# Set up the session helper in active mode. Mind the wrap - this is one line:
external_acl_type session concurrency=3D100 ttl=3D3 %SRC
/usr/lib/squid/ext_session_acl -a -T 10800 =A0-b
/usr/lib/squid/session.db

# Pass the LOGIN command to the session helper with this ACL
acl session_login external session LOGIN

# Set up the normal session helper. Mind the wrap - this is one line:
external_acl_type session_active_def concurrency=3D100 ttl=3D3 %SRC
/usr/lib/squid/ext_session_acl -a -T 10800 =A0-b
/usr/lib/squid/sessions/

# Normal session ACL as per simple example
acl session_is_active external session_active_def

# ACL to match URL
acl clicked_login_url url_regex -i http://www.squid-cache.org/

# First check for the login URL. If present, login session
http_access allow clicked_login_url session_login

# If we get here, URL not present, so renew session or deny request.
http_access deny !session_is_active

# Deny page to display
deny_info http://192.168.6.1/splash.html session_is_active
