You may want to use external_acl_helper instead of url_rewrite_program, 
to handle CONNECT requests gracefully and close the connection to 
blocked destinations instead of trying to re-direct. This wouldn't 
require SSL_bump.

Here is a reference implementation:

It requires a server to talk to for ALLOW or DENY decisions, which you 
can self-host.
