I've looked in the archives, site, and Squid book, but I can't find the answer to what I'm looking to do. I suspect that it's not supported.
My origin server accepts Basic auth over SSL (non-negotiable). I'd like to stick a reverse proxy/surrogate in front of it for caching/acceleration, and have it accept non-SSL connections w/ Basic auth, directing those requests as https to the origin. The origin's responses will be cached, to be used in subsequent GETs to the proxy. Both machines are in a closed IP environment. Both use the same authentication mechanism. I see that Squid 3.0 has an "ssl-bump" option, but I don't think that does what I described. If it does, that's cool - I can change the requirement of the proxy to accept Basic/SSL. Is this configuration possible, and/or am I thinking about this wrong? -- Todd
