Correct.

You can't use a reverse-proxy to tunnel https. For this you need to use
NAT or simple TCP plugs / port forwarder.

What you can do with Squid is to reverse-proxy https. There is then
different SSL connections between the browser<->squid and
squid<->webserver. This functionality is however not available in the
Squid-2.5 distribution, but is available in the SSL update patch from
http://devel.squid-cache.org/ (also available in the upcoming Squid-3.0
release).
