It's great to see RC releases of Squid 3.0.One of the things I heard would be possible with Squid 3.0 is to have Squid accept HTTPS requests and to pass these on to an origin server as HTTP requests and the reverse effect with responses, so: client -- https request --> Squid -- http request--> origin server client <-- https response -- Squid <-- http response-- origin server Will this possible with Squid 3.0? If so where could I read up on it. I have checked the wiki put nothing seemed to tackle that. Certanly I found no mention of SSL or HTTPS on the reverse proxy page. Thanks, Bruce
Just set up a standard reverse proxy, (using cache_peer with the originserver option, and cache_peer_access if needed to direct traffic), and add a https_port directive (http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.0/cfgman/https_port.html). Squid will accept SSL traffic and request the pages from the back end server via whatever means you specify with the cache_peer directive.
2.6 can do this now. http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/SquidAndOutlookWebAccess has an example (though for a normal website you won't need the "front-end-https" argument to cache_peer).
