I have an https client (not a browser) that normally connects to a reverse proxy. When it needs to go through a forward proxy, it requests a CONNECT tunnel.
I now have a requirement to also be able to encrypt the connection between my client and the forward proxy, and I think this is possible using Squid and the
https_port directive (??)
My question is, will my https client now have to decrypt twice? Once for the connection with the forward proxy and once for the connection with the reverse proxy?
Also, must my https client still send a CONNECT message to Squid, or does it just connect to Squid's https_port at the TCP level, perform the SSL handshake,
and then open a TCP connection to the reverse proxy?
Thanks,
J. Bielski
