Squid can change HTTPS traffic if (a) end user allows it to do so and
(b) there is some software that does content adaptation on the decoded
traffic. For more information, including many caveats, please see

	http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/SslBump
	http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/DynamicSslCert
and
	http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ContentAdaptation

If you are using Squid as a reverse proxy (a.k.a., accelerator or
surrogate -- clients are thinking that your Squid is the origin server),
then you do not need the SslBump component.
