[squid-users] url_rewrite_program shows IP addresses instead of domain name when rewriting SSL/HTTPS

Hi Amos,

I kinda solved the problem (Thanks to you!!!)
All what was needed is to peek the important domains in step2 in order not
to cause them harm and bump everything else in step3. In this case I'm able
to read the dns names in the redirect script and block them accordingly

Here is the relevant part:
acl http_sites dstdomain play.google.com mydomain.com
acl https_sites ssl::server_name play.google.com mydomain.com

ssl_bump peek step1 all
ssl_bump peek step2 https_sites
ssl_bump bump step3 all !https_sites #http_sites won't be bumped anyway.
But just to be sure
url_rewrite_access allow all !http_sites

Of course I'm still not able to rewrite https address as discussed, but
this is a different story I guess.

The SslPeekAndSplice wiki page needs serious rework though as many of the
stuff discussed here are not explained on the page, which makes life really
hard for noobs like me. Is there a way to contribute back a little bit by
reworking that wiki page? I'll try to write a small post about
the SslPeekAndSplice in the next few days.

Many Thanks again for the great help. Really appreciate it

Cheers,
Moataz
