Squid doesn't accept https requests
I have a server running Arch i686 and installed squid as a web proxy server. I can connect to it through, say Firefox, and it serves all the pages except SSL'ed ones.
It simply throws a generic Firefox error. What do I need to enable in my squid.conf so that squid will forward the https requests to their intended destinations?

Re: Squid doesn't accept https requests
Oh, I see... Avoiding man-in-the-middle attacks is nice and everything, but I still need a way of sending https requests through a proxy. Here's why:
At work, they are using this "websense" content filtering thing and it blocks everything! Not just nsfw stuff, but even some news pages etc. For example, I couldn't access the link you've just posted, because it is blocked under the category "proxy avoidance". See my problem?
Any ideas on what I can do?

@zenlord: Uhm... I might be wrong here, but doesn't the following contradict with your link?

Re: Squid doesn't accept https requests
I just searched google for three keywords in your question and the first link seemed pretty relevant to me. This question would fit better in the Squid-forums I guess, unless it is caused by a bug in the archlinux-package

Re: Squid doesn't accept https requests
It's not an Arch-specific thing, I knew that from the beginning. Yet the forums are not for Arch-only stuff.
So, any ideas?

Re: Squid doesn't accept https requests
I'm not saying that you cannot post your question here, I'm only suggesting that you'll get more and/or better answers in the squid-forums. It looks like noone in these forums can help you (myself included).

Re: Squid doesn't accept https requests
Seems so yeah. Also, to my utter astonishment, a squid-specific forum doesn't seem to exist! Oh, well
