Hello Julien, If you use never_direct and you have multiple parent caches, then you probably want to mark one of them as a default choice in case Squid can't decide which one to use. That is done with the default keyword on a cache_peer line. never_direct allow all If you have only one parent,nothing is sent to the parent.Simply adding default to a parent does not force all requests to be sent to that parent.If you want to force all requests to your parent cache(s), use the never_direct option. Squid does not know what to do with an https request to handle such a request, Squid would need to speak the SSL protocol.
