Sorry, I forgot to mention that. Linux / Redhat 5.1

Thanks Alex,
I'm trying to figure out if there is a bug, and if so, where it might be.
I think you might be on a different problem? When I use squid 1.1 or
1.2 (both on Linux/Redhat 5.1) SSL seems to work OK in IE3, but not
Netscape 3 or 4. I haven't seen any notes or FAQ entries regarding this.

Well, I think you're right. When I set my 'Secure Proxy' to be another
squid server, either 1.1 or 1.2, Netscape 3 works fine to an SSL page.
Set both http and secure proxies to be the same server, and you can't
access ssl pages.

Just tried version 4.03 though, and it doesn't have the same problem.
It seems to work fine here for me.

Since Joe doesn't seem too confident that it is a bug, can anyone else
confirm these observations? Or has this been reported before?

Thanks everyone for your help.

Mark
