Thanks Amos,

what I wanted to know is if it is possible to force this behavior so
that the web browser requests a specified web page and squid redirects
this request to another server using a SSL connection.

                                    Original
                                  destination
                                  (x.x.x.x:P)

 Web
 Browser ----> Squid =====> Squid-modified
         http https destination
      request to (y.y.y.y:Q)
        for y.y.y.y:Q
     x.x.x.x:P

Thanks.
