[squid-users] HTTPS request times out going through Squid proxy

Mon May 10 07:52:48 UTC 2021

Any help I could use? :) The gist is: I have squid running on machine A, and an app on machine B. The app sets proxy (A's ip address and squid port #) when making HTTP requests but the requests are failing.

I spoke too soon, so embarrassed 🙁

When I run Squid on the same machine where my application is running it works fine, but when I run Squid with the same exact default config on a different machine it doesn't. I supply other machine's IP address and port (3128) on command line to my app, and it simply takes it and sets web proxy property on CPPRest SDK's http_config object.

The access.log file has many lines like the following:
1620409014.520  42289 <ip adress> TAG_NONE/500 0 CONNECT <uri>:443 - HIER_DIRECT/13.107.246.70 -

When capturing network calls via Wireshark (on this other machine where Squid is running), the CONNECT call succeeds but the following TCP call seems to fail with a RESET status (Wireshark is highlighting it in Yellow). Here's the frame if I am doing it right:

Frame 317: 54 bytes on wire (432 bits), 54 bytes captured (432 bits) on interface \Device\NPF_{5DF77CC1-9630-47C0-883C-EB71B3CB5012}, id 0

Matus, thanks a ton for your responses. I removed https_port and things started working again. Unfortunately, I am not sure what I was doing wrong before adding https_port. Well, it works now 🙂

no need for private copy, mailing list is enough.

no. https_port is used for reverse proxying, not for forward proxying of
HTTPS requests.

- means: have you set up the applictaion to use HTTP proxy?

- what is in squid logs?
