I am trying to setup squid as a transparent proxy with the ssl bump
options enables as outlined in the article. However there is a problem
with all pages that have ssl/tls connections eg.
mail.yahoo.com,login.facebook.com. The browser gives me the error
“This webpage has re-direst loops”. Why is that happening? I was able
to buy pass the problem by removing the “transparent” keyword from the
config of http_port. But i want to know why this is happening.

Here is the relevant portion of my squid.cong file

always_direct allow all
ssl_bump allow all

http_port 192.168.8.105:3128 ssl-bump
cert=/home/talha/squid/www.sample.com.pem
key=/home/talha/squid/www.sample.com.pem

https_port 192.168.8.105:3129 ssl-bump
cert=/home/talha/squid/www.sample.com.pem
key=/home/talha/squid/www.sample.com.pem

If i put in the transparent keyword in it, i get the problem. can
anybody help me with this?
