i think this has nothing to do with HTTPS. It's indeed related to the
fact that Squid is NOT fully HTTP/1.1 compliant. Squid can RECEIVES
HTTP/1.1 requiests, but it only sends HTTP/1.0 requests. And in
HTTP/1.0, compression is not supported.

So all requests done by a squid wont have any compression at all. HTTP
and HTTPS ones. And that's because of squid being a HTTP/1.0 proxy.
