The question was about how to get browsers talking TLS *directly to a
Squid reverse-proxy*. Your Ubuntu package is not capable of that and you
are not using a reverse-proxy.

No. It is irrelevant to yrou sitation.


You began this thread with a simple question:

Everything you have been asking about since then is various ways to do
parts of the SSL-bump process. Which does not fit very well with the
"without ssl-bump" requirement.


Simply put; if you are not going to SSL-Bump then you can discard any
thoughts of doing things with the HTTPS messages or port 443 traffic.

If you have changed your mind and want to use SSL-Bump now, please
re-describe what you want to actually happen now.

Hi,
Simply put, my question has three parts:
1. Can Squid be configured as an HTTPS proxy server without SSL-Bump?
2. If yes, then what other configurations have to performed other than
"https_port XXXX"?
3. In this configuration, can Squid filter HTTPS requests from ACL?


Thanks for you help in advance.
