Hi Kevin and thanks for you reply. Proxying SSL connections is not a
MAY in our environment, unfortunately.

I tried using the latest release on Debian 64bit:

Squid Cache: Version 2.6.STABLE14
configure options: '--prefix=/usr/local/squid'
'--build=x86_64-linux-gnu' '--enable-async-io=8'
'--enable-storeio=ufs,aufs,coss' '--enable-removal-policies=lru,heap'
'--enable-snmp' '--with-filedescriptors=4096'
'build_alias=x86_64-linux-gnu'

IE7 confirms the same behavior, with a higher release of the
wininet.dll library. I know the problem is IE but We don't need
religion debates...

Is there any trick which may resolve the problem?
