Most likely your redirect script witks a bit too well... redirecting 
https:// accesses as well.

Squid-2.5 has the peculiar limitation that requests accepted by 
https_port will internally be processed as http:// requests, meaning 
that http:// is sent to redirectors etc.

What you can do to differentiate http_port from https_port in 
squid-2.5 is to enable httpd_accel_port virtual, then look for the 
port number in your redirector, clean up the url etc.

Another option is to look into Squid-3.0 where this is a whole lot 
easier and does not require a redirector helper.
