<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I'm trying to use Squid (3.5.27, in a docker container) as a non-caching reverse proxy with http inbound and https outbound, to support an application that requires a proxy for internet access but does not allow proxy configuration (and I do not have access to the application's host machine). Ideally the squid proxy itself would not have a tls cert, since inbound traffic would be http, and I would like to add headers.</div><div><br></div><div>What keeps stopping me is that I also need to support a parent forward proxy, which itself may support http or https inbound.</div><div><br></div><div>I've tried the various examples <a href="https://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ReverseProxy" target="_blank">here</a>, but I'm struggling to "flip" the proxy direction - receive the request as a reverse proxy, configure the outbound request appropriately, and then send it on *via* the parent proxy. I'm not sure if cache_peers can be "chained" like this, or if they can't, how I can configure the single cache_peer so that proxied https works correctly.</div><div><br></div><div>This is my first foray into complex proxy configuration, so I'm not sure whether I'm close or completely off base. Can provide more details or try any suggestions.</div><div><br>Thanks!</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><p><span style="font-family:Titillium Web,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:16px"><strong><span style="color:#0e3179">Joel Howard</span></strong></span></span><br>
