Just for closure now the system is now up and running as we wanted and I have a moment to relax.

My objective is to use Squid as an https reverse proxy front ending an Apache server. Squid is happily terminating incoming https connections from the browser and making http requests to the Apache server.

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
This worked OK but I had to change the parent port to 443 from 80.
Many thanks for your help.

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..)
