[squid-users] https/SSL forwarding to parent squid cache

Hi,
I have following scenario -

Client-->squid--->Proxy--->Stateful Inspection--> Squid
Parent-------->ISP2
                 Firewall Firewall | (two NIC config)
                                               |
                                               |-->ISP1

From Squid I am contacting parent squid at tcp port 3128 and it is
allowed through both firewalls. This arrangements works perfectly for
http traffic but I cannot login to hotmail or can not go to site with
https.
The idea behind this is that I want to use second ISP without
complicating my configuration. The HTTP traffic goes perfectly through
ISP2 but have problem with HTTPS. When I change never_direct to
always_direct https works but then it not using ISP2. Any help?

For using ISP1 I have other squid box which has default route to Proxy
firewall. My squid.conf on the client side squid proxy is as following -

acl bb-itsup src 10.10.56.0/255.255.255.0
acl CONNECT method CONNECT
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
never_direct allow bb-itsup
never_direct allow CONNECT
http_access allow localhost
http_access allow bb-itsup
#always_direct allow bb-itsup
http_access deny all

Thanks & regards,

Rakesh
