Forward HTTPS proxy setup (SQUID)

squid.conf.txt

I need to setup a proxy on a windows machine which should be running as https and I have to access https site via that proxy. I am okay to use Squid or any other proxy but not able to setup the conf file properly.

As far as I understand, only chrome browser provides capability of using https proxy so I want to test on chrome browser - opening some https page using https proxy. I will also like to understand that where will all certificates need to be imported for this to work.

I have attached my squid conf, for reference.

Thanks & Regards,
Ashish

Set squid proxy to transparent mode and all browsers will work with it

@Natty,

Thanks, I have to place this proxy for an application call from one component to the other and the client component has screen to specify proxy. I have tested with http proxy (proxy running n http) and i works fine but I am not able to run the proxy on https & use.

Regards,
Ashish
You may checkout haproxy, which is made for exactly those purposes.
Either for stripping SSL or for SNI based routing requests.

Not sure if there is a native windows version yet, otherwise checkout the install under Cygwin.
