Only by diving into the source I am afraid. See httpBuildRequestHeader
in http.c.

What exacly are you trying to do?

Squid-2.5 (without the SSL update patch) does not know how to make SSL
connections to the backend servers. It can only terminate SSL
connections from the clients.

Self-signed certificates is certainly not the reason.

Are you sure it's the SSL session setup taking long and not something in
the returned page getting the browser confused?

Try fetching just the HTML with wget, and verify that all returned links
etc are correct...
