Thanks Ahmed, That worked, well sort of anyway. Squid is now successfully transparently intercepting SSL but as stated on the wiki, certificate rewrite doesn't work. So I guess the only real solution is explicit proxy. I tried to play around with WPAD + PAC but that is only useful when PCs are on a corporate network with centrally managed DNS/DHCP. My clients are home users with their own broadband routers which manage their own DHCP. So any ideas what I can do if I want to set up a proxy service for SSL with minimum effort required from users and no control of DHCP?

Also dynamic ssl certs doesn't seem to be working. However squid definitely intercepts the request so it seems like the NAT bit is fine. I am not sure about the code in 3.2 but i faced a similar issue in 3.1.19 and i think the problem is still lurking in 3.2 as well. You might want to look at http://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2976. There is a hard-coded value that causes all requests to be forcibly written to "http" even "https".
