Description of Problem: I have squid problem. If I want to configure squid to send requests to another squid proxy server then i can't access secure site (https). Normal sites mostly do OK. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): squid-2.4.STABLE1-6 How Reproducible: Every time I want to access https sites. I have tried on several machines. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure squid with cache_peer proxy.xxxx.sss parent 3128 0 no-query proxy-only prefer_direct off This are most important configuration lines in squid.conf file. 2. Try to access https site over this proxy 3. Actual Results: Don't get any response from squid Expected Results: Connection to https sites should work wery well. Additional Information: If you need more information please contact me at my email.
Other important configuration lines are always_direct and never_direct. I'm sure it is not a bug with the Redhat RPM as I have been using these RPM's for many months now in a production environment and cannot replicate this problem. Have you tried the latest release from ftp://rawhide.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/squid- 2.4.STABLE2-4.i386.rpm ?? You may also want to look for advice on the squid-users mailing list: http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-1.html#ss1.9
When you want to work Squid as proxy to proxy connections (cache_peer) squid do corectly all unsecured (http) connections but all secured (https) connection goes direct (allways).
Have you checked the new versions of squid?
