Re: SSL to virtual host

Sorry, I may not have been too clear:

A) I'm not trying to cache https
B) I'm not trying to transproxy https

The problem, when manually configuring to proxy https, is apparently
with the content of the request upon reaching the secure server. This
problem appears to exist as a result of some problem with squid or my
squid.conf. It could be an apache problem but note that it works when
using my parent squid directly.

So, whilst taking into account A) and B) above, it still don't work for
me ;-)

Regards,
