To cache encryption protected content you must first remove the 
encryption. That destroys the "anonymous" part completely.

Also, when a service uses TLS properly it is not possible to decrypt in 
a proxy.

If you accept the above limitations, look into the SSL-Bump feature of 
Squid for details on how to configure decrypting of HTTPS content.


Once Squid is handling decrypted content the caching should "just 
happen", same as with HTTP traffic going through the proxy.
