[squid-users] Help needed setting up ssl proxy

Hi,

I wish to set up a proxy server where the clients' browser will be
configured to use this proxy for both http and https.

Some of the clients are behind a firewall which prohibits ports other
than 80 and 443.

I have managed to create a http proxy server by setting http_port to
80 instead of 3128. The rest of my conf file is the same as the
default except for some acl statements to permit certain network
groups.

Now I wish for my clients to be also able able to use ssl/https, but
I'm not sure how squid should be configured to do this.

Would it suffice to simply configure the ssl proxy for each client
browser to also connect to the squid proxy server on port 80? I see
that the conf file has a number of safe ports included, including 443.
Therefore, I'm guessing it should work without me changing anything in
my conf file.

If this is correct, is the connection secure from between the client
and the proxy also?

Thanks for your help,

Magnus
