The easies way of doing this in Squid-2.5 is to use the Apache as a
"parent" to your Squid with the ssl cache_peer flag.

   cache_peer your.apache.server parent 80 0 no-query ssl
   never_direct allow all

Another way is to use a redirector helper to rewrite the accelerated URLs
to https://...

In Squid-3 this is considerably easier and works a bit better (except for
the fact Squid-3 is still under development and is somewhat of a moving
target..)
