All, My institution has a proxy.pac configuration that proxies HTTP traffic but not HTTPS. This works fine in a browser. When I try to configure Java to use the proxy it will connect to HTTP URLs just fine and barf on HTTPS because the proxy changes the protocol on secure requests to HTTP and our Web Services do not like that. Can a Squid proxy be configured as follows? 1. HTTP traffic: forward to existing proxy 2. HTTPS traffic: direct connect Thanks, Bill S.
