We have a group of application servers which connect to another internal web

Due to limitations in the software, a new SSL connection has to be created
for every request.
Also, for whatever reason, when connecting to the web service an HTTP
REDIRECT is always issued redirecting the client to another server.
Can squid be used as a reverse proxy to the web service so that:
1. the application servers connect to squid using HTTP (perhaps through a
Unix domain socket) and squid proxies the connection as an HTTPS connection
to the web service
2. squid keeps the HTTPS connection open for future requests possibly for
different application servers
???
Squid can do that yes.

The redirect is a possible problem, since Squid will still relay that
out to the web app.
