[squid-users] SSL connction failed due to SNI after content redirection

With 3.5.6 code, we found one thing is broken.

We used pyredir to rewrite request to a surrogated server enabled SSL connection. 

Also, we enable this in squid.conf:

url_rewrite_host_header on

We expect a request to www.foo.com is changed to www.foo-internal.com. 

squid sends the request with the host header rewritten by pyredir as www.foo-internal.com  , but it fails connecting to the server withSSL enabled due to SNI hostname selection (it is under SSLBUMP). We did this change to get it work:

--- a/squid-3.5.6/src/ssl/PeerConnector.cc
+++ b/squid-3.5.6/src/ssl/PeerConnector.cc
@@ -191,8 +194,10 @@ Ssl::PeerConnector::initializeSsl()

             // Use SNI TLS extension only when we connect directly
             // to the origin server and we know the server host name.
-            const char *sniServer = hostName ? hostName->c_str() :
-                                    (!request->GetHostIsNumeric() ? request->GetHost() : NULL);
+            const char *sniServer = hostName->c_str();
+            if ( request->flags.redirected && ::Config.onoff.redir_rewrites_host) {
+                sniServer = !request->GetHostIsNumeric() ? request->GetHost() : NULL;
+            }
             if (sniServer) {
                 debugs(83, 5, "SNIserve " << sniServer);
                 Ssl::setClientSNI(ssl, sniServer);


Is this correct?
