No, not "to squid": The destination of the request is
http://repository.certum.pl/ca.cer.

As for the "from Squid" part, it is dangerous to think that way because,
in most Squid contexts, "from" applies to the source of the request
_received_ by Squid. In this case, there is no received request at all.

So this transaction is _not_ "from Squid to Squid" in a sense that some
other, regular transaction is "from user X to site Y".

Nobody is suggesting to omit this catch-all rule (which you have
confirmed as matching in a follow-up email, thank you). The solution is
to add a new "allow" rule (at least) above this last "deny all" one. In
other words, your configuration is missing an http_access rule to allow
internally-generated requests [to benign destinations].

A short-term hack: I have seen folks successfully solving somewhat
similar problems using a localport ACL with an "impossible" value of
zero. Please try this hack and update this thread if it works for you:

A possible long-term solution: Factory is working on adding support for
the following new ACL which may help solve this and a few other problems:

Please note that these are draft specs that are subject to change. We
may not be able to support many of the initiators listed above. We will
support the certificate-fetching initiator though.

As we discussed earlier, the destination here is not "Squid itself".
Squid permits transaction with the same destination upon receiving a
request from "outside" because your http_access rules permit such
requests from "outside" while prohibiting transactions that are not
based on "outside" requests.

One aspect that complicates this problem in general is that we cannot
simply allow internally-initiated transactions without an explicit admin
permission because many of them, including the ones that fetch missing
certificates, may go to completely arbitrary destinations (determined by
origin servers, not users). Many admins care about where their Squid
sends requests as much as they care about where their Squid is receiving
the requests from!


HTH,
