Hey Yuri,

Normally you never use CONNECT method over HTTP ports. This is
prohibited by squid basic security requirements.

The above statement is true only if the proxy admin prohibit this.
A CONNECT method can be allowed and can be used for any purpose what so ever the admin of the server sees right. There are basic default settings which allows the usage of a CONNECT method only to access specific "ssl safe ports".

The "right" way (if these one) to access squid using an encrypted channel would be throw either a tunnel or another proxy which can forward the request into squid. If the client supports encrypted proxy connection you can try to use squid 3.5.2 and a combination of haproxy in-front. On the haproxy use a ssl based listening port while between haproxy to the squid service you would need to use an unencrypted channel. Then you can use haproxy PROXY protocol to let squid know what is the client src IP address.

All The Bests,

* I did not tested this feature yet but it is on my todo list, for now 3.5.2 seems very stable.
