Adrian,

        AFAIK, Squid can handle HTTPS requests in an accelerated environment
setup, using https_port settings. If I configure Cisco to redirect https
traffic to Squid https_port using WCCP, will Squid know how to decrypt
the request?

        If yes, then SslBump should work, in principle, for WCCP/HTTPS
interception. Testing this is on my to-do list, but I wanted to know
whether you foresee any problems with this scheme (other than browser
warnings that SslBump causes). Do you?

Thank you,

Alex.
P.S. In my tests, SslBump already works for intercepting CONNECT
requests.
