Hold up.

Squid is being instructed to open a TCP connection from itself to
xxxx.xxxx.xxx.io and deliver the contents that follow the CONNECT
message there.


If xxxx.xxxx.xxx.io is the ELB, what do you expect will happen when
Squid obeys?

The short answer is "Forwarding Loop", eventually the cycle of
ELB->Squid->ELB->Squid ... ends up going through one of the Squid it has
already passed through which kills the loop with a 503.
