I seriously doubt that this is a Squid problem. Squid CAN'T mess with
the request as it is encrypted by the client and only the origin site
can decrypt it. When seeing a CONNECT call to a SSL server Squid opens a
fully transparent TCP/IP tunnel to the origin site (or parent proxy if
not allowed to go direct).

CONNECT is a method browsers uses to open fully transparent tunnels to
origin servers for protocols not supported by the proxy (mainly SSL
which can't be proxied like HTTP).
