Re: A selection of SSL bugs...

Squid does NOT support SSL, it supports SSL tunneling using the CONNECT
method.

If you get erronous CONNECT requests then this is a client problem, not
a Squid problem. A proper CONNECT request for
"https://c123456:98765@www.wibble.com" is "CONNECT www.wibble.com:443"

You can't use a redirector to redirect requests to https, unless you
redirect them using a HTTP redirect (telling the client to use https
instead).

Squid 1.X has quite limited forwarding capabilities for SSL. I'd
recommend you to look into Squid 2 to solve your firewall + local domain
problem.
