better if you post it here.
If your script have no problem , then I guess your HTTPS requests are
not being forwarded to Squid. like in my case only requests on port 80
(http) are being forwarded. that could be the reason for not getting
any https converted into http.

I have a question about URL rewriters that I couldn't really figure
out from reading the faqs/wiki on the squid site...

I've seen many examples of how to set up a url rewriter to handle urls
like http://website.com and turn the urls into httpS://website.com
which works very well without a hitch.

My question is whether or not it is possible to use url rewriters to
take urls like httpS://website.com and turn them into
http://website.com (essentially the reverse of the many examples out
there).

I've tried doing this by editing the perl code in my url rewriter
script, but it doesn't seem to be working.  More specifically, I've
tried having the script handle urls that begin with https and it
doesn't seem to pass those urls to the rewriter.  So another question
is whether or not its possible to have url rewriters do something
along the lines of taking: https://site1.com and turning it into
https://site2.com ?

My thoughts are that IF url rewriters can be used oh https url
requests, then I probably have to set up my config file to tell it to
use the url rewriters for https requests?

The problem is that https:// does not exist on URLs. What gets sent instead by the browser is a special "CONNECT host:port" request with a body of encrypted blob.

HTTP redirect, the real kind using 30x status code, is possible to bounce the client to an http:// URL when it sends CONNECT. The very latest Squid releases will use 307 by default on redirected CONNECT requests. But the redirect status is only known to be handled properly by Firefox at present. We are awaiting HTTP compliance from the other browsers.
