[squid-users] deny_info and CONNECT for https request gives SSL error

Hello

I have this simplified ACL in squid.conf

acl denyit src all
deny_info http://192.168.1.1/blocked.html denyit
http_access deny denyit

The purpose is to block everything and redirect to 
http://192.168.1.1/blocked.html

It works fine with http (non-secure) CONNECT request ...

 > curl -ix 192.168.1.1:8080 http://google.com
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Server: squid/4.3
Mime-Version: 1.0
Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2018 11:02:05 GMT
Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 0
Location: http://192.168.1.1/blocked.html
X-Squid-Error: 403 Access Denied
X-Cache: MISS from somehost
X-Cache-Lookup: NONE from somehost:8080
Connection: keep-alive

  ... but gives certificate error with https CONNECT request.

 > curl -ix 192.168.1.1:8080 https://google.com
HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in 
certificate chain
More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.


I believe this is because squid first gives 200 status and hence browser 
thinks connection is established expects Google's certificate.

Can squid not return with 302/307 on CONNECT HTTPs requests for deny_info?

Like instead of HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established - it returns:

HTTP/1.1 307 Redirect
Location: http://192.168.1.1/blocked.html
(...)

RFC 7231 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.3.6 states that:

Any response other than a successful response
    indicates that the tunnel has not yet been formed and that the
    connection remains governed by HTTP.


which means HTTP/1.1 307 Redirect should make browser treat connection 
as HTTP and hopefully also follow Location.

Any idea? Or any other workaround (except importing squid certificate)

Thanks and regards,

Amish
