    Hi,

Is it possible, with any version of squid, to identify REAL SSL connections using CONNECT method ? The idea is blocking some softwares thattunnel connections, through squid and on 443 ports, but are not real SSL connections, like Skype and other P2P softwares.

The idea is a bit flawed. SSL is a transport layer like TCP or HTTP itself. It is quite possible that Skype and P2P are using SSL inside the tunnel.

Very often you have to accept and confirm successful tunnel creation along with any protocol greeting the server would have produced in non-HTTPS traffic before the client will send anything you can use to identify the protocol they are expecting from the server.
