Hello,

I've testet with Squid 3.3.8 and here it is working as expected...
Thanks Amos!

squid.conf:
http_port 3128
http_access allow all
never_direct allow all
cache_peer 10.0.0.101 parent 3128 0 name=TEST1
cache_peer 10.0.0.102 parent 3128 0 name=TEST2

HTTPS Traffic is sent to first parent (10.0.0.101):
1413546716.565    299 10.0.0.50 TCP_MISS/200 434 CONNECT 10.99.99.99:443 - FIRSTUP_PARENT/10.0.0.101 -

When first parent fails, the HTTPS traffic is sent to second parent (10.0.0.102):
1413547033.502    216 10.0.0.50 TCP_MISS/200 434 CONNECT 10.99.99.99:443 - ANY_OLD_PARENT/10.0.0.102 -


But I still got a question left:
Why is there no message in the logfile? Something like "DEAD Parent detected" or "connection to 10.0.0.10:3128 failed"?

When I test with HTTP traffic, it works fine, I will see this message as soon as first parent dies:
2014/10/17 14:12:07 kid1| TCP connection to 10.0.0.101/3128 failed
2014/10/17 14:12:07 kid1| Detected DEAD Parent: TEST1


Regards,
Daniel
