Will those internal servers trust the certificate you configure Squid with? In your example, you used "https://...";. That usually means the internal servers are going to validate the server certificate. Can you make them trust the Squid certificate? Or does the API communication have to be signed by a fred.mydomain.com certificate that you do not control? The other pending question is whether those internal servers are configured to use a proxy (see the previous email on this thread) or always talk directly to (what they think is) the API service?
