Yes. But you are quite likely to run into issues with the server sending out http:// URLs in it's responses unless the server has support for running behind an SSL frontend. See for example the front-end-https cache_peer option. > btw, what's the usage of "protocol=http"? I can't understand for it > enough. It's the protocol Squid should internally assign to the requested URL. When acting as a web server / accelerator the request does not contain information on the protocol used, just the request-path. It has only marginal practical importance, and is best left at the default automatic setting unless you have very special reasons to change it. Regards Henrik
