These three lines are the problem. The client is connecting to the
reverse proxies using HTTPs, but then the reverse proxies talk to the
server in plain HTTP. What you need to do is altering this change in a
manner that
- checks if the client-ip is that of one of the reverse-proxies
- checks the Via: header on whether the client-port was :443 (I'm not
sure if Squid adds more HTTP headers indicating the SSL connections
details, you might want to check those instead).

Otherwise you might want to put the SSL-switching logic in a Squid
redirector rather than in the webserver (see the squid FAQ on how to do
this).
