[squid-users] Making squid into socks proxy

[Francesco Chemolli]

Hi Robert,
  in my understanding that configuration turns Squid into a Socks client.
Outbound squid connections will then be proxied through a socks proxy.
There might be a point, in some use cases, but I agree it's a stretch.
For instance it could help if there's a need to log URLs being accessed,
which socks by itself can' tdo; it might also work as a TLS interception
proxy which then needs to access some tightly-controlled network segment.
