Redirect for transparent proxy does not work with https

Fellows,

I've tried to use RedHat Linux 8.0 to build a transparent proxy with squid (squid-2.4.STABLE7-4) and netfilter 
(iptables-1.2.6a-2). Squid is listening on port 8080. When a http packet arrives, the requisition appears on squid 
log and the page is viewed nicely. When a https requisition is made, squid seem not to recieve the redirection 
from netfilter, though. The nat rule used for redirection follows:

      iptables -t nat A PREROUTING -i $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE -p tcp -d ! $INTERNAL_NETWORK -m multiport --
dports 80,443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080

Can anybody please help me?

Thanks a lot!

Regards,
