it comes to banking and health websites.
I am not sure whether this means not logging those websites, not caching
them or something else?

in fact, both. However it's not a problem unless you bump SSL connections.
without it, you just see CONNECT requests in proxy logs, which doesn't
violate privacy.

No. CONNECT only provides host/IP and port, nothing more.

Bumping SSL connections means decrypting the traffic and removing privacy.
(SSL is designed for end-to-end encryption and valication).

Bumping decrypts the connection, provide own certificates, and make own SSL
connection to the web sites.

Users will not see the green bar commonly seen at banking sites, coming
from
extended validation certificate.


I don't see the need to go as far as filtering traffic based on content.
However I would like to be able to view the URLs visited.

viewing URLs in HTTPS connections requires decrypting SSL.
decrypting SSL removes privacy and brings problems.
don't decrypt unless you really have to.
