Route local traffic via Iptables

How do I route traffic from my server through Squid?
I have som C++ scripts that download files and I would like these to go
via Squid.

Set HTTP_PROXY environment, details of this in the wget man page.

C++ is not script, it is source 'code' which is compiled into binary
code. bash/perl/tcl etc are script.

My problem is that the C++ binary is home made and doesn't use wget.
So I think I have to use iptables.

You give a different default gateway to your squid box, and set the
HTTPPROXY environment as detailed in the wget man page.
