Sure.. you get the most blatant security fixes, but nearly no other bug
fixes.

If you have any issue with Squid-2.4 and ask here on Squid-users the
first response will unconditionally be upgrade to the current STABLE
release.

Squid does not make any difference between hostnames in a GET or a
CONNECT request.

What does access.log show for these "https://" requests (btw, Squid-2.4

CONNECT).
