The problem that I dont use Squid for a domain or with IIS! Im using
Squid as Transparent HTTP for caching purpose and to save traffic thus
I also want share HTTPS if its possible to work with HTTP Transparent
Enabled .
I suppose you are talking about a transparent forward-proxy achieved by
dest NAT, right?
In my own experience, saving bandwidth/traffic through caching depends
highly on the content. If you are lucky, you will maybe get about 25-30%
hit ratio, the benefit would not be that huge ...
I am not sure if you can save traffic with HTTPs content at all. You can
use a transparent proxy for HTTPs, but it would not be very transparent
for the end user. Because you have to generate a certificate (pem
file[1]), the client will get a warning message when surfing to HTTPs
sites ... Basically, squid is doing a man-in-the-middle-atack and I
personally would complain about that (I would not use it), but probably
most user will just accept and/or ignore it anyway ;-)
