[squid-users] question about encrypted connection between https client and Squid

Normally my infrastructure looks like:


client  -- HTTP CONNECT (not encrypted)  ---> proxy
client ------ TCP tunnel ---> proxy --- TCP tunnel ---> reverse proxy
client --- HTTPS application payload ---------------> reverse proxy

Now I need it to look like:

client -------- HTTPS application payload ----> proxy  ---- HTTPS
application payload  ----> reverse proxy

Yep.

Re-encryption will performs only in case SSL-bumped connections.

But now I still can't imagine your infrastructure and how it must work.

Still want to take a look on your infrastructure scheme.
