True, but at the same time I have seen reports that the latest Mozilla
apparently is capable of this but I have not confirmed this myself.
As soon as you have a browser capable of this Squid is prepared for it,
and I will keep advocating for this solution until the major browser
vendors opens their eyes and gets it implemented.
And as you mentioned you can upgrade any browser to be capable of making
SSL connections to the proxy by using stunnel on the client to connect to
the proxy: browser connects to stunnel locally, stunnel wraps everything
in SSL and sends it encrypted to a https_port of Squid.
