[squid-users] SSL client->server?

I just setup Squid as "proxy only" mode (ie. no-cache) for forwarding
purposes. What I can't firgure how, is how to enable an SSL tunnel between
the client (ie, netscape) and server (squid).

Basically, I am trying to set it up like so:

Real web server <- clear text -> squid <- SSL -> client (ie/netcape).

This is for privacy reasons. If the network is sniffed between the squid
server and the client, they will just get an encrypted stream, but if the
network is sniffed between the real web site (ala http://slashdot.org) and
the squid server, they will see clear text.

Differant view:

network 1 (slashdot.org) <- clear text -> network 2 (squid proxy) <- ssl ->
network 3 (client at campus/work/cafe/etc).

I looked around the squid-cahc.org site and see how to "forward" SSL
connections, but not how to create a tunnel between squid and IE/netscape.

Jack
