My question is if it would be possible to log HTTPS traffic, in a Squid in transparent mode, without intercepting the traffic? I know it's possible with a proxy in explicit mode, but in transparent mode?

I believe I have answered your earlier question, but since you are asking a similar question again, I assume that my earlier response was problematic. I do not know what that problem was, and you have not told me why that earlier answer was not satisfactory, but perhaps there is a conflict in terminology:

* How do you define "transparent mode"?

* How do you define "intercepting the traffic"?

* Do you want to log individual HTTP(S) transaction details (e.g., request URLs) or just TCP-level connection details (e.g., IP addresses and ports)?

I believe that with bit of tweaking, even spliced SSL connection could be logged as "CONNECT %ssl::>sni"

thus revealing at least requested server name of destination server (if available)

Yes, in cases where TLS SNI information is not encrypted _and_ Squid is doing SslBump actions to extract that information.

Gonzalo Vázquez Enjamio's original question excluded SslBump, but we still do not know exactly what needs to be logged and in what setup. We can add "client-origin TLS handshake info" to the list of things that can be logged (in some cases, with some SslBump features enabled).

I understood the OP's question as "without bumping SSLconnections"
perhaps Gonzalo would like to specify (sending Cc:)
