[squid-users] No access to HTTPS sites and funny error page.

Hi everyone,

I am fairly new at running Squid and we are currently evaluating moving
from ISA server to Squid. It now seems as if there is some difficulty in
running Squid with https sites.

I understand the concept of Squid effectively just passing through
connections to https sites without impacting the data at all, but on our
ISA server access to internet bank sites is permitted with no problem.
On squid the response is slow and frequently the client gets a "While
trying to retrieve the URL: failed:443". I have tried to Google with
failed:443 but no results.

I have had a look at the access.log and all entries for the website look
OK. The return code is TCP_MISS/200 so al seems fine.

We're running 2.5.STABLE10-5.2 on Suse10 64-bit. Squid is installed
using the rpm provided on the Suse10 DVD. We are using Websense 6.1.1
and the most recent database download is dated 28/2.

I have not been able to recreate the error on my machine (using the same
profile in Websense and the same proxy) and I cannot see any errors in
the logfiles.

TIA
Andre Labuschagne
