Thansk mark! It was my mistake ... I found it after reading my mail itself ( #-o) .... In my configuration file (/etc/squid/squid.conf) I defined a wrong (different then the required port). Now everything is working fine! So the conclusion is: For adding a new ssl port I had to add an entry in /etc/squid/squid.conf same as follows: acl SSL_ports port 443 563 2083 acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 563 2083 # https, snews, relaxo I was giving 2038 instead of 2083 (which was not the one required for the site to access) Sorry!
