The easies way of doing this in Squid-2.5 is to use the Apache as a "parent" to your Squid with the ssl cache_peer flag. cache_peer your.apache.server parent 80 0 no-query ssl never_direct allow all Another way is to use a redirector helper to rewrite the accelerated URLs to https://... In Squid-3 this is considerably easier and works a bit better (except for the fact Squid-3 is still under development and is somewhat of a moving target..) Regards Henrik
