Re: [squid-users] HTTPS & Reverse proxy

It will accelerate it allright.

With an SSL enabled Squid accelerator it looks like:

client -- (https) --> Squid --- (http) ---> origin server.

SSL is only used between the client and Squid. Between Squid and the
origin server plain old HTTP is used without encryption. Squid acts as
the SSL endpoint for the request.

No, this does not apply to "transparent proxies", only accelerator
setups where the accelerator can be seen as part of the origin server
setup/environment.
