A web proxy running on the same machine means that the INPUT and OUTPUT > rules apply, not the FORWARD rules. Oh! got it now. But now the problem I faced was that my users could not use hotmail. But once I allowed FORWARD for port 443 they could easily. Now, if you say FORWARD rules are not applied for web proxy on same machine, why do i need to open port 443 for hotmail, where as I have declared 443 as Safe_port in squid's configuration file.
