The problem arises when squid is doing the SSL business and only talks
to the origin server in http. To the apache server, everything is
http, you can see how this would loop: Request -> https -> squid ->
http -> origin server -> http -> squid -> etc..

Can quid 2.5 be configured as a pass through for https, and leave the
ssl layer stuff to the origin server *without* using a redirector?
